Default Nook .vs. Kindle .vs. iPad

It will be interesting to see if the new Apple iPad will cut into the sales of the Nook and Kindle. From reading some of the posts here, I understand reading in eInk is easier on the eyes than a screen with back lighting.

I currently do not use an ereader, but I do like Apple products. In fact, there's a Kindle app for the iPhone that I have used, as well as the Barnes & Noble eReader. Both are good, but the iPhone screen is just a bit too small to use for long periods of reading. On a recent flight to the US, I did try to read Dan Brown's Lost Symbol. Book is great, but I couldn't read the iPhone for more than about an hour. Bought the hardcover book in Heathrow on the way back to Germany. I will say though, it's nice to be able to read a book and listen to some soft music at the same time, from the same device.

Anyone else thinking about getting an ereader? Will you wait for the iPad, before purchasing?
