I think iPad is not aim at the people who don't buy/read books. And not suitable for most Malaysian that do not read book in English.
Look at apple's strategy of having a digital bookstore called iBooks that will let users buy from publishers including Pearson Plc’s Penguin, News Corp’s HarperCollins, and Hachette Book Group.

The only think I would use iPad for is probably just manga reader... can't think of anything else I can't do on my iPhone..
Thinking of at least able to watch movie on it but the 4:3 ratio really spoils it, combine with the big bezel you will have really big black bar on most movie/anime that is now in 16:9 or wider.

As expected, watching movies on it would not be a pleasant experience since most movie will be in widescreen format 1.85:1, 2:35:1, etc ...

Here to visualize:

Even if you can double tap it to enlarge like what iPhone does, the side would be cut off considerably.

So how I feel a lot of normal consumers are going to get it just because of the hype/trend without knowing a thing about what it does...

OMG.. Malu only..

"Putrajaya and Komtar are claiming that the iPad, due to its position as a product in between the iPhone and the MacBook, is mimicking the 1 Malaysia and Middle Malaysia concepts, respectively."
