There are signs they are listening less. Consider the Kindle software and its viewing options. It's lagged behind Kobo for some years now. Many people have complained about few font choices. There are no bold font options. The much vaunted Bookerly was a disappointment and criticized for being too light. Amazon have done nothing to correct it.

Then of course Amazon, despite its dominant market position, shows zero interest in releasing an e-reader that is not 6". Really, Amazon is barely innovating in e-ink, if at all.

Signs of disconnect, perhaps.

Meanwhile Mr Bezos is playing with rockets. Like John Carmack and Id software and the forever reducing feature-set in his games. Who plays Id games now?
