I've never used a Kindle, myself, but the impression that I get is that if all you want to do is read books, the Kindle is the device for you.

The display is very much like paper. If reading a real book doesn't strain your eyes, the Kindle's e-ink shouldn't cause you any discomfort. It won't get washed out by bright light like other displays, so it works well in sunlight. It also yields extremely good battery life, better than anything with an LCD or AMOLED display.

The Kindle's weaknesses are that it isn't much good for anything other than reading, and the e-ink display does require an external light source to read. 

Another thing to recommend the Kindle is that Amazon seems pretty committed to putting out Kindle client software on as many platforms as possible. So if you decide the Kindle isn't for you, you'll still be able to read your e-books on a netbook or an iPad or whatever popular gadget is coming around the corner.
