Totally worth it. I was itching for a Kindle, but held out for the iPad. However, less than a year after getting the iPad I purchased a Kindle as well. The Kindle is a great reading device, especially outdoors. The battery life is fantastic and the screen is gorgeous. Nice thing is too, for the books that you purchase, it will automatically sync your last page read ... so you can start reading on the Kindle, switch over to iPad, go back to the Kindle ... all without losing your place and while maintaining your highlights and notes.
