Should I get an Ipad2 or a good E-reader?

have played with an Ipad2 at the Ipad store and my boss has one as well. I really like the Ipad2 because it has a camera, a big screen and can get on the internet. My neighbor has a E-reader and she can get on the internet. It doesn't have a big of a screen or a camera on it. The E-reader is about $150 and the Ipad2 for 16 GB is $500 and 32GB is $600. Which one should I get? Do you think either of these will go on sale the day after thanksgiving? If so, I can wait that long.

Update:

The only thing I am going to use it for is just email and looking at things online like facebook, email, espn......

    If all you really want is to read books, then an eReader is the way to go. Amazon just released a couple of Kindles with some nice prices. Kindle is $79. Kindle Touch is $99. Kindle Fire is $199.

    Unfortunately, the iPad 2 will most likely not go on sale and will stay at its current price until the release of the iPad 3 in early 2012.

    It really depends. The iPad has a lot more power and flexibility, but you pay for that. Many e-readers can be used for online browsing, but they have slow processors so the performance is bad. The new Kindle Fire will probably be the best compromise between an e-reader and a full tablet.

    Kindle. Dont get a gadget that has too many stuff. Good to hv a specific item, like camera for photos, ipod for music and video, etc. So that if one break down, u still hv others. Gd luck.
