Because there's a bigger market for soemthing like the iPhone than there are for dedicated readers. Not that many people read enough to justify dropping $299 on a Kindle.

The key could be the user's portion of the statement above. If Amazon is smart they'll continue to allow other devices (like the iPhone) access the Kindle store. That could really expand the e-book market as many people my by the occasional e-book who would never buy a dedicated reader.
