First of all your looking at the matrix with eyes that are trying to disprove what people ate saying on this thread. Easy enough to argue any logic in any situation. If you look at it from the point of an innocent consumer - a matrix of the type presented naturally implies the devices are comparable, and that the information is being displayed in some sort of order - since the features of each product are being compared, naturally the consumer links the matrix to good, better, best comparison.
The fact is the limitations of the devices are not mentioned at all. As said - there is no mention that they operate different firmwares or that they have different RAM capacities. Compare this scenario with buying an iPad. There are various models available like a 16gb wifi version, but you decide to pay a few hundred dollars more for a 64gb 3G version. Now all of a sudden an update is released which gives flash video support to 16gb wifi owners only - your gona be pissed right? Sure people could argue that the extra money you spent was for more storage and 3G but you purchased in good faith that your device is everything the cheaper models are, and the premium you are paying is for the 'EXTRA' features. Same situation with the kindle - we know the extra cost is for a larger screen, but naturally also believe at the time of purchase we are getting all that the lower models are, and there is nothing in the marketing to suggest otherwise.
