platform is there just to do that really I guess, and I think that people buying books are often looking for the best price.So what does it mean? Is this just a switch in media for the book buying public? Personally I haven't really taken to eBooks as yet, but that might say more about Apple's iBooks store more than anything.

The iBook store is pretty useless. I generally find things are a lot cheaper for Kindle - and the range is vastly superior. It will be interesting to see if Apple step up to the challenge. At the moment I find I'm using the Kindle app more and more - no replacement for a dog-eared paperback yet though!
I still prefer books. But I do put many of my tech and music hw/sw PDF user guides on my iPad (using GoodReader) because its so easy to search for topics on keywords. So, I think reference books are a great fit for e-readers.
No way I will ever take my iPad to the beach for summer vacation reading.
BTW, you can use Kindle and the associated Amazon bookstore on the iPad, so you get the best of everything. No worry about prices. FYI, I owned a Kindle and sold it after I got an iPad, because I found the iPad was more feature robust, the display looked better to my eyes, plus the Kindle was limited. Try running a synth on a Kindle!
