Reading on a Kindle is much easier then reading on an iPad. The e-ink display provides less reflection then the iPads LCD and there is less eye-strain. I get the feeling the same Kindle Fire will offer the same experience as an iPad.
The only issue I've found with the Kindle (other then the lack of ePub) is that PDFs are not really readable because of the small screen. You can convert most formats easily enough using Calibre.
