I don't see why they'd bother. The people who would buy a limited-capability grayscale text- and static-picture-only device at or anywhere near the price point of the iPad are going to be so relatively few that there doesn't seem to be much point. Amazon would be better off just ensuring their Kindle app gets allowed on the iPad and selling their books that way than spending the money supporting and continuing to develop a device whose sales are going to start plummeting through the floor in about 60 days. Any business model based on selling an e-ink device for more than $300 pretty much vaporized yesterday.
