I don't think it so much they want to reduce Amazon's share, Ithink it's more so they isn't just one device with one company dictating the industry. That benefits no one, not even the kindle owners.

I welcome competition. I don't want amazon to go away, it's keeps BN on their toes and keeps them to improve and vice versa.
