If that happens, Amazon is gonna have their work cut out for them. We'll see.
Amazon won't care. They aren't entering the tablet business. They are extending their Amazon store, music, videos & books to a tablet. It won't matter to them one bit if developers make games that run on their device and other devices.

Now GOOGLE is going to care as the whole point of Android is to tie people into Google services -- and Amazon isn't doing that.
