Agree with murraypaul

That's why I see no benefit for Amazon in creating another Android Tablet; one more in the now almost saturated market of Android Tablets.

When you analyze what they are doing, they "sell" tons of Android Tablets already, but not as a retailer, but with their Kindle for Android app. So what added benefit they are going to bring with an physical tablet and hardware? Maintaining the apps (Android and iOs, and now webOs as well) is enough to be worried and busy for a while, plus they are reaching each and all those customers that bought an Android Tablet already.

Maybe not possible right now (because issues with the eink refresh rate ) but I see more of a benefit for Amazon in producing and selling their own eink color device instead of a regular tablet. That would be a real market hit! And something really new.
