The reader uses an eink display which uses no power unless it's changing pages. This means battery life can last for weeks, or thousands of page turns. It is a dedicated device for reading books which weighs nothing and, frankly, is awesome. You also get the option of free 3G connectivity to download books from most countries very easily.
Running the kindle app on a tablet gives you the facilities of the kindle store but the management headache of a tablet. 8 hour battery life, Android and glare in direct sunlight.
My family are all ebook crazy. Wife and son prefer kindles. Mother prefers kindle, father prefers iPad running kindle app. I've had all of them and sold them because I read on my phone as it's always with me but reading on a kindle is definitely nicer than reading on a phone/tablet.
