Actually that is not at all what I said at all. Perhaps you missed it, but here is what I said in the post you quoted;

In other words, the Kindle is a superior device for me because it offers the features that best suit my needs.

I do like Amazon. I also like Sony. Most of my AV gear is Sony. That Sony is a larger company than Amazon is tertiary in the evaluation of what each product offers me (with the caveat the each company needs to be large enough to support it's products and services).
But there is something you need to be aware of when noting the relative size of each of these companies; Sony had around 40+ years to grow before Amazon even existed. If you want to make some kind of point about the size of these companies, perhaps it would be more relevant (though probably not) if you knew their proportionate growth rate given the respective amounts of time they have had to be in business. For instance, did Sony enjoy the same relative rate of growth in it's first 10 or 12 years that Amazon has experienced?
If there is a relevance to the company sizes that you intended that I have overlooked, please elucidate.
After all, one would think that if size had anything to do with it, Sony would have had a better offering. LOL (just kidding)
