I was not very precise - so unnerdy! I think Apple, because they have the more popular culture behind them, are more powerful than Amazon, which just has booklovers behind it (at least in this fight). I have never heard Jobs retract his statement that no one reads anymore, and the ipad is certainly not an indication Jobs thinks reading is going anywhere.
