I agree with this. It looks to me that the KCR is just another move in the dance of these two giants.

It seems to me that Amazon is gradually learning how to be Apple. For example, the remark about Apple customer service being so good can be countered by the observation that Amazon customer service seems to be even better, at least in my experience. And despite its defects, the Kindle strikes me as being pretty close to what an Apple EBR would be like. It will be interesting to see the 4G Kindles.
