No, it's not really much like that, I don't think. It's much more like Amazon selling Kindles, so you'll buy more Kindle ebooks. That seems to have worked out well.

I really think Amazon selling a tablet is just an extension of their already proven Kindle strategy. That actually worries me a bit, in that it may lead them to attempt to lock the device down. I hope I'm wrong though.
