In my opinion, the success of a tablet depends of these two factors (in that order)

-Price
-Available apps or ecosystem

That's why iPad has been a hit.

There is no Flash, no multitasking, the silly stuff of using iTunes, but Apple sells iPads like hotcakes, because those two factors.

So I believe, if above is true, Amazon will hit and provide those two important points.

There is no better online retailer and store than Amazon. Having a tablet that integrates that together, without rooting and out of the box, is a big deal, plus being backed up by Amazon's customer support.
