That's nice of them but will anyone still be using this when the iPad drops??

I'd certainly use a free Kindle over a $500 iPad.

I'd use a $200 Kindle over a free iPad.

Yes. Have you missed the past few weeks of discussion on whether the iPad has a niche? The Kindle already has one. I don't have an iPhone, and I don't want yet another multipurpose device, but bigger. I have a Kindle because I want the e-ink screen.

For a bookreader, I think having an electronic paper display that Kindle has is pretty crucial.
