What's interesting is no one seems to be talking about the main difference: quality of content.
Sure they can both show books, but which one does it better? The iPad by far. Same with the rest of the content consumption.
The big advantage is the iPad can be used for iBooks, B&N and Amazon.
The Fire has a hard time with PDFs and doesn't support epubs. Plus, the quality of their content is much lower than Apple's.

264 PPI for the iPad, 254 PPI for the 8.9” Fire HD, 216 PPI for the 7” Fire HD, and 169 PPI for the Fire. Notice all the Fires are more pixel dense than the iPad 1 or 2 and the 8.9” Fire is essentially the same as the new iPad.
The higher resolution screen doesn't somehow make the content better. If anything, it'll just make the quality problems more obvious. I'd give specifics but I'd probably be violating a NDA or two.
