I don't see anything wrong with Amazon using the "Kindle" name for their new tablet as long as the reading experience isn't compromised (assuming you're fine reading on an LCD) and reading is still the primary function (kinda like the Nook Color). Sure, it might handle videos, music, apps, etc, much better than the Nook Color but first and foremost, it should act as an ereader.

Now if they make it so it functions more like an iPad or generic Android tablet, then yes, they shouldn't use the Kindle name.
