Indeed, Amazon has a lot of tools to fight with:
ebookstore, appstore music and video stores, video streaming service, Cloud Drive, and Prime itself, which may or not include a lending library.
PCWorld has some interesting math in mind:

By their reckoning, the mythical Amazon tablet would have an "effective price" of US$171, since they expect it to come bundled with a year of Prime.
It seems a reach, but the same kind of logic underlies the KSO and that sucker moves like zero-calorie hotcakes.
