It certainly seems like it would. It's bad news for all the device users and manufacturers, not just Amazon and the Kindle.

Edit: I also don't see any reason for laughter at Amazon's expense. If this patent is upheld it will cover ALL e-ink readers, hell it seems so broad it could cover all ebook reading devices period.
