It is in the nature of good businesses and good businessmen to take such risks from time to time in order for their business to grow. Assuming a degree of success, what they learn from their initial implementation of the Kindle can serve to improve their next iteration (should they decide to continue the line).
So you're saying that you like the Kindle because you like Amazon. On that note, you should be aware that Amazon is a bit of a pipsqueak compared to SONY.
