The cloud software they released makes it easier for people to use Amazon music. What does a tablet bring to the table? All it does is put them in more direct competition with Apple, which isn't exactly a great place to be.
I never believe CEO, they either make it a practice to lie or change their mind on a whim.

Personally I don't think Apple is their concern. I think it's really is B&N. With B&N having more than 3Million ereaders(mini android tablets) and an app store on it's way they are very concerned.
