We're talking about innovation in devices, which necessitates the removal of confounding factors. Therefore to make a straightforward comparison of devices, we need to decouple the device itself from the bookstore integration and difficulty of the average reader accessing their Amazon books on other e-readers. The kindle might still end up as the best selling e-reader in this situation, but it is not unreasonable to suggest that the margin of dominance would be reduced.

Or increased if you do away with epub religion.
Do you really think that the Voyage wouldn't be universally hailed as a great ereader if it didn't have the Amazon name?
