True indeed.
What they could do though is release another larger screen reader and see what has changed on the market. That they have “all the numbers” and that is why they never released another larger screen reader has been kind of proven wrong by the Fire Phone... There’s is always a chance that people don’t know what they are missing and really appreciate changes that they couldn’t imagine would be necessary before they saw it.
I for one hope Amazon do release a larger screen reader like Kobo will...
