That wouldn't bother me or the majority of other consumers who want a simple tablet at a reasonable price for entertainment.

If Amazon produced a tablet with the following specs and locked in to the Amazon ecosystem (apps, books, music, video, cloud, etc), it would be a runaway hit:
  • Android 2.3 Gingerbread or 3.0 Honeycomb
  • 1.0 GHz single core processor, 512MB RAM
  • 1024x600 IPS display
  • WiFi b/g/n only
  • 8-16GB onboard storage
  • microSD card slot
  • NO cameras, NO GPS, NO HDMI out, NO 3G
  • Price: $225-239
