Yes, Amazon has gone the way of Apple with its Gold Mac. Amazon are focusing on creating a status-oriented product to generate more revenue. Money for old rope, basically.
In actual fact, I can't think of an occasion when Amazon has innovated hardware in any real way in the e-ink category. They have always been content to remain one step behind the competition and add competitors features to their products. They have not been a force for innovation in the e-ink market, and their dominance of the market has had braking effect on choice, especially in the US market.
