But you are assuming their target market is Android fanboys. So far none of the tablets from other companies are competitive on price with Apple at the moment as they are still thinking about tablets as a big phone and want same kind of margins with the help of Telcos. Amazon is in the best position to create and sell a tablet at cost as their major aim would be to earn from apps and ebooks and they have a large customer base trained to buy e-goods so I do expect them to be successful at it.
