Sure, Astak already has on this board.

But they also can't tout a bookstore that lets anyone publish an e-book in 5 minutes or less; syncing books, notes, last page read across multiple devices; buying books directly from the device; automatic hands-free backups of purchased e-books, and so forth.

Besides, specifically targeting the Kindle makes those other devices look like also-ran's. How many "iPod Killers" wound up deserving the title?
