I'm sure many companies have said the following in the past:
"Okay, we have to develop a better mp3 player than the ipod."
"Okay, we have to develop a better GUI than OSX."
"Okay, we have to develop a better phone than the iphone."
"Okay, we have to develop a better ad campaign than apple's."
While 'better' is arguable with bullet points, perception somehow is usually in apple's favor.
While the past can not determine the future, it would be foolish to ignore it. A direct attack against Apple may not work and I would imagine an Amazon board meeting where this idea is brought up and met with stunned silence.
Remember, Amazon OK'ed the design of the original Kindle 1.
