I'm all for competition and innovation but Amazon is currently a market leader in Ebook reading E-ink devices, just as Apple is in Multi-purpose LCD tablets. They are two clearly distinct products and if Amazon were to ditch E-ink in favour of LCD just to compete with Apple they would be making a serious mistake.
I understand the need for a colour e-reading platform but I don't think transforming their E-ink reader into an inferior multipurpose LCD tablet is they way to go.
If Amazon wanted to release a LCD tablet to compete with the iPad, they shouldn't release it as part of the Kindle line.
