I like how he thinks. Why produce a tablet when everyone else is doing that? I asked that very question when B&N announced the Nook Color. If the predictions of the release of more tablets at lower prices are correct, then B&N choose to enter an even more competitive market then the e-reader market. Amazon is likely to skip that because they have the software needed to sell their books.
I have no problem with Amazon introducing a touch screen version of the Kindle, I just hope that they keep the non-touchscreen option as well.
If Amazon really wants to dominate the market they really need to add EPUb. I don't think that is going to happen but it would silence the largest complaint about the Kindle and could do wonders for Kindle sales. I would guess that most of the folks who love EPub would end up buying a decent number of books from Amazon because it is easy. Maybe not all of their books but enough that it would make sense to add the format.
