Obviously I do not the answer as Tim doesn't speak to me directly
, but I believe, based on other comments he has made about ebooks and the content of the article in question, that he really means the the format, not the device.
However, you raise an interesting point: Today, can you separate the device from the format? Yes, technically you can but from the average consumer's perspective can you? I think most people (particularly those not members of MR) believe that buying a Kindle means buying books from Amazon and nowhere else. And that link could be Amazon's downfall or its savior. Only time will tell.
