I'd think a tablet would certainly have a place in their lineup in addition to eInk readers.

Which is what I said, no? In *addition*.
I don't doubt that Amazon should be looking at the business case for a multimedia tablet.
I just don't think they're willing to sacrifice Kindle market share for whatever multimedia revenue a tablet might bring. Whatever else they may do on the side, and Bezos explicitly said so: Kindle is about reading, not about adding features for the sake of adding them. The Kindle value proposition has never been about features but about ebook access. About selling ebooks, first second and last. And driving cost down is clearly their weapon of choice, witness the KSO.
Doesn't mean I wouldn't consider a touch Kindle, just that I don't think touch (or color) adds anything worth a premium price in an ebook reader.
