I don't think that it's that simple. Once you introduce apps you need to worry about backing up their data, for example. All I'm saying is that you can build a more reliable, easier to use device if you keep it simple. Adding functions tends to add complexity and reduce reliability.
I'm not saying that adding such functions would be wrong, necessarily, but rather that there is a price to be paid, and they might reasonably choose not to. My view is that Bezos is right in saying that he wants to make no compromises in making Kindle a good reader.
