Completely agree. I wouldn't bet against Apple on this one. I think Amazon's dominance of the ereader world is about to end. Whatever it is, it won't be perfect out of the gate, but look at what the iPhone did for the smartphone market. As far as I can tell, there has yet to be an iPod/iPhone killer, although many have tried. Say what you will about Apple & their fanboys, they put out products that people flock to. They didn't invent the portable music/MP3 player, but it didn't take them long to capture that market and the same is true of the iPhone.
