Actually the bigger question is will Amazon continue to innovate in order to preserve its place in the US e-book market and what is Amazon doing to improve its place in the international market.
I could careless about todays success. I want to buy the best product for me on the market. Right now that is a Kindle. If the time comes that I am looking for a new e-reader, mine breaks or something new and cool comes out, and Amazon does not have the best product on the market then I will be buying something else.
Part of the issues I end up having with these types of topics is that it turns into a Amazon vs the world thing. I don't see the need for that and I think the overall tone is distracting. I know that I post in these topics and that does not always help things but I get tired of Amazon bashing or demands that Amazon change its business model.
I fail to see why people cannot be happy with what they have and enjoy discussing the pros and cons of different e-readers. Different folks have different needs in their e-reader and there are a ton of possibilities out there for folks.
I guess the hyper competitivness to "prove" one e-reader is better then the other is a bit weird to me. As is the desire to see one e-reader grind the others down. We are better off with many devices which push the others to innovate and we all end up with better devices.
