      I believe that Apple wanted to compete with Other Book Readers but they knew that a basic device would be just another contender in a new Market. That's why the iPad has a modified iPhone OS at it's heart, it's designed to attract a wider audience and a greater age spread. It's not just a book reader, that's just 'A Feature' of it.
      Apple have aimed a single device at multiple markets, Gamers get their wish, office bods can work on it in transit, Bookworms are covered and it surfs T'internet via 3G or WiFi. It has covered most bases already.
      Most of the competition's devices are just plain ol book readers, the iPad is by design, a book reader/gaming/music/ net browsing device

      You can read eBooks bought through iBook. You just can't through iTunes. You can just open the eBook through a eReader.

      You wrote :"But one of the advantages of buying ebooks from Kindle store is that you can also read the ebooks on your computer thanks to Kindle App for PC (Kindle for Mac will be coming soon), which won't be possible for ebooks bought on Apple's iBookstore for now."Though double clicking an iBook on mac won't let your read, Calibre will allow you to read iBooks on mac.

      I should have written more clearly. Hindsight 20x20, sorry.Double clicking in finder on ePub file will launch Calibre, if you have it to read the ePub file. Double clicking in iTunes does nothing.
