I have voted yes after a while. I am an absolute ebook freak and so I will use it mostly as an ebook reader - that has the option to be used as a webinterface if need be. And what is in my opinion a big advantage against conventional ebook readers - and I had them all 
I know I will not buy it right away - I never do - but I know I will buy it after a while as I bought almost all apple products after every one else had them already for ages - this included a macbook, various ipods, and finally even an iphone - I always had been critical and was 'against the crap' - but as soon as I got hold of them and had a while to play around, I tended to love them. So I am sure the same thing will happen to me again with the ipad.
I might be weird but - I have notebooks that can do everything - but I just don't need all this everything. I don't need to hop between applications. If I want to read a book, I want to do exactly this. I dont want to reply to emails or quickly surf the internet. If I want to do this - I do it afterwards. And hey I am a girl and native capable to multitask - I just don't want it

I am quite happy to read from the screen of an ebook reader but reading from any kind of computer like screen really doesn't work for me. My eyes get tired, and I fall into the classical "no blink" problem.
