I think this is really the issue, Bezos is saying things like 'The Kindle will be the iPod of reading' that sets a much larger investment expectation than the niche market of mobileread population. So, what investors might be expecting with 'ipod of reading' volumes and the current reality of a nascent niche product volumes likely do not match.
As well with the amount of flack that Sony has gotten for the PS3 sales, I can see why they might not want volumes getting out.
