Should I wait for Apple Tablet (iSlate?) and not to buy Amazon Kindle?

Apple is going to release their tablet soon. Should I wait for it or just buy Amazon Kindle? I want to read the book, but I don't have space on my bookshelf anymore.

    I love answering kindle questions, it's by far one of my favorite devices that i keep in my bag.

    For starters and most importantly I worn the Kindle 2 (soon to be upgrading to the Kindle DX), and it is easy for me to say I love it! I think I've read over 20 books so far.

    There are other reviews on the Kindle 2 here:

    And for the Kindle DX:

    I love my Kindle because it has helped me improve a lot on my efficiency and utilize my time. Before I owned the Kindle, waiting time like when I'm waiting for friends or waiting for shuttle bus or some thing like that is simply wasted. Now I just need to bring the Kindle 2 along with me. Another thing I like the most is the text-to-speech function, which means I can "read" books without even holding or looking at the Kindle. Now I like to use this function when I've myself busy on some boring things, say when I'm on the step machine or doing some housework...

    I like reading and at the beginning I missed a bit on the feeling of reading books. But now I love to hold the Kindle, the e-ink seems to work very well, it is really like reading books... Now I often read with the Kindle for several hours but I don't feel tired.

    I linked your directly to the Kindle Store on amazon.com! I really do hope you consider getting your own =)

    If you want a dedicated e-reader, I'd go ahead and splurge on the kindle. If you want basically a tablet computer that does a million and one things, wait it out for the tablet. I'm more than content with my kindle, but all I've ever wanted to do on it is read, and I know that's a rarity these days :)

    I think the apple tablet is going to be a lot more than an e-reader. I think its going to be more like a super-charged iTouch actually. And it may be a bit more than $500. If you want you could compromise and wait until they officially announce it at the end of the month and do a real comparison to find out if its what you want.

    According to the Wall St. Journal the Apple Tablet is "debuting next week". Wait a little longer.
