Because at the end of the day, it isn't enough for a product line to be profitable. It needs to be profitable enough to warrant continued investment.

one thing to take in to consideration is buying purchases of users based on their chosen device. Like, you could have a situation where more people use the kindle app on their phone or tablet, but people with actual kindle devices buy more books on average.

Yeah, I am having it consistently fail for me. I think it is because it is wanting me to solve a captcha (if I use --showbrowser, I will see a captcha on screen for a few seconds before crashing)

I'm the same way, as are most people I know. Hardcore ebook users typically have an eink reader.
