Any device incapable of the Kindle app is also incapable of apps in general. I can only imagine that they don't consider e-ink (T68 aside?) to be "real devices" -- a fairly standard opinion...

I don't think anyone would possibly kid themselves, however, that there was any chance Amazon would officially offer this for the Kobo; likewise, whoever designed the picture was likewise not thinking the other e-ink ereaders as being applicable to the concept behind the offer.
