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.

Exactly. The iPad is just as locked as the Amazon tablet will be, maybe even more so. Amazon already has the necessary ecosystem in place to support their tablet. Given the pricing, they stand to sell a bunch of these things. They also stand to make $79/year from new subscribers to Amazon Prime once the promotion period is over.
