The iPad and the Kindle DX have a $10 difference between the two; while Amazon has the price advantage, you get a lot less for the money. The iPad is heavier than the Kindle (and the Kindle DX), but the iPad is a far superior device because it does more than just e-books, and it does many other things well.
Yes, Flash is missing, but Flash is missing on the Kindle too, and don't get me started on the web capabilities of the Kindle (abyssmal). Amazon has also released a Kindle App for the iPad, which is every bit as good as the Kindle app for the iPhone. Apple appears to be supporting many formats for the e-books, and there are plenty of e-book reader apps featuring other types of DRM.
