I just don't see that as cutting it. Amazon isn't Apple. They have a good ecosystem, but it's not one with the reputation iTunes has. They'd also be faced with the problem of having to lock all the other tablets out of the ecosystem. Why would anyone want to be tied to the Amazon ecosystem, when they could buy a tablet that doesn't lock them in? I think the only way it'd be successful is if they exiled all other tablets out of Amazon Instant Video, the Amazon App Store, the Kindle store, etc. Otherwise, those who wanted to spend a little less money would get the Nook, and those willing to spend a little more money would get one of the other Android tablets.

The thing I think that would make it worth it is if there was some new service they could introduce that only their tablet had access to.
