Finally, I haven't heard anything about a backup for your Ipad if it crashes or becomes broken. I've also not heard about being able to transfer the books to another reader if you don't want to buy an Ipad when it comes time to replace the device.
iPad is backed up through iTunes, just like an iPhone. If you're only going to be reading books on the device then the Kindle is definitely the better purchase--but you won't end up just using it for books, so that would be a thinker.
It's silly because there is absolutely no evidence that Apple will block Stanza, the Kindle, or any other app like it from the iPad - including the thousands of existing books that are already distributed as applications.
This whole thing about pricing is a tempest in a teapot - people will either buy or they won't. The market will decide.
The iBooks app won't ship with the iPad, so I don't think Apple intends to block competing book apps.
