But I can't imagine ever buying a Kindle, and I'll most certainly get this device. I'm already reading digital books on my PC or laptop, but I'd prefer to read it on this.

In other words, I don't think Kindle will die immediately, but its time is up.

One critical difference: the Kindle only uses battery power when changing the display. Tablet PCs have a similar power profile, size, and weight to a regular laptop.
I have a Sony e-book and the battery discharges without page turning, even when the screen is off.
