And that sums up my thoughts.

Also, reading on a computer is a bitch on the eyes. This won't be the Kindle killer unless it comes with a lifetime supply of free Aspirin.

It's not a bitch on the eyes, it's just not e-ink. Which means if you have trouble staring at and LED screen usually, you might. It also means you'll be able to read without direct light. And considering the screen size, actual strain should be much better than any smartphone you're already looking at. And no worse than any other tablet on the market - better than most, considering the quality of the display. If Apple had gone with E-Ink, books are all it would be able to do. Who wants just another proprietary e-book reader? Nobody. But you add the app store and a nicer screen and it's suddenly worthwhile for a fair few people.
