I got the original Kindle because it would be easier to read since I could pump up the front size. That worked really well for me. It's nice too that there is an audio version you can use, electronic but audible. What didn't work for me was no backlight. I'm not in outside bright light and much prefer the backlight of the iPads.

The original reason I got an iPad was to read books as both paper and a more paper like Kindle are hard for me to read when I am tired. I have a much easier time on my MacBook so I knew the iPad would work better for me. So adding to the other answers, go to a store (hopefully near you) and try both not only for reading experience but other features as well.
