Teach them what lesson, exactly? That there's no room in the market for premium devices? I strongly disagree!

I have a Voyage and was happy to pay a premium price for it. Nobody's forcing anyone to buy a Voyage or an Oasis - you can buy a basic Kindle or a Paperwhite if you want something cheaper. I think it's silly, though, to say that Amazon should be "taught a lesson" for daring to think that there are people willing to pay for high-end devices. There's clearly a market for such products, as the success of the Voyage and the Oasis shows.
