I'll rephrase.

The move requires limited risk to Amazon and it eliminates an advantage of its main competitor.

It's safe to assume the average consumer doesn't know who Jeff Bezos is or what he's said.
If they do know, they probably don't care enough for it to influence their purchase decisions.

Purchase decisions will be based on the features on the box.
This move crosses one difference off the list when choosing between Kindle and Nook.
