And since K4PC has to be smallest share and Kindle App (Fire. Android, iOS) is the biggest share with most Kindle & Audible content consumption on phones, that's an easy decision. The eink Kindles (except maybe Scribe?) don't accept all content either, though that wasn't for DRM reasons.

Someday they might just have the App (and Fire, which is really Android with an App). Curious that the Fire tablet is a success and the Amazon phone failed. Might they try again? They have "muscled in" on Google's turf on TVs and streaming sticks.
