If you need much for reading (not for multimedia), I think Kindle is wise choice for you. It’s also cheaper so, you can seve your money

I would get the iPad, it’s got kindle app and iBooks app and it’s really really cool… you get Internet iPod and heaps of apps for $499 that’s good depends what u use it for but I would go with the iPad

For reading purpose, I’ll say the Kindle ebook reader will definitely be better.
I’ve given a detailed comparison between the iPad and the Kindle, in a previous answer here. Guess you’ll be interested:

For reading use, I think you should definitely go for the Kindle instead of iPad. The iBookStore of iPad is too unmature at this moment. And there has been many users complaining that if you look into the screen of iPad for reading over an hour, your eyes will get very tired because of the backlight. See an article about this here:

For reading I would recommend you Kindle.Kindle is sure a worth buying. Wireless is a unique feature I will say and that’s make really value for money. 3G wireless and global coverage, I personally travel a lot and really worthy for me. You can have any newspaper at any place and also they are cheaper. The best selling value for the Kindle is convenience for the travel, it’s pretty handy and easy to carry anywhere with you. The other important thing matters to me are speedy for downloading books and reading material. Also it allow around average size of 1500 books and reading material to store, so is a significant amount of storage space to bring with you. In one line I can say “you are carrying your book shelf with you”.
Also one of the other feature of Kindle is it’s E-INK screen technology that don’t glare in any light so no strain to eyes and you can read for hours.
Also you save a lot in compare to the actual books, the books on kindle are really cheaper so I have saved a lot till now. Also there are plenty of books on kindle to choose. Also it has so good features such as Text-To-Speech which is really useful when you get bored or doing some other activity.
Amazon Kindle Home for more info,

If you like reading then go with Kindle.

For reading I would recommend you Kindle. You can buy Ipad as a entertainment package like for music, watching videos,games etc. Kindle also uses the E-INK screen technology so you dont harm your eyes, reading for hours. Kindle also has a free basic web browsing.The battery life is really good for kindle also you will find a wide range of books on kindle.
Some of the good features of Ipad are they support 16GB of memory also supports Wi-Fi + 3G
whereas Kindle jst supports 3G.
So in my option if you want a device for reading than go for Kindle

Depends on what purpose the device is served for. For reading purpose, the ebook readers are indeed better than multi-purpose device like iPad. It is more easy to our eyes with its e-ink screen, and it is specially designed for reading so it can give us a better touch and feel for reading.
And I must say I love my Kindle reader very much. I remember I read these reviews about the benefits of the Kindle when I decided to buy it:
