I agree. And amazons play is to argue that the app simply syncs content that customers buy on Amazon's web. I don't think Apple can do much about it.
But the Kindle strategy has been to lower the barrier, to facilitate impulse buy. 1-Click ordering. They can't do that on the iPhone/iPad
We'll have to see how Apple reacts, but I'm pretty sure that the Amazon app "replicates core functionality" as they say ....
But most of my speculations arises from the fact that I don't think a new touch UI and user experience is useful with an e-ink display.
I think they intend to make profound changes to the UI and User experience.

Enigma is the name for their custom UI which runs on top of Android.
Windows doesn't run on Tegra/ARM devices.

Exactly, right now the 3Qi display is a bit more expensive (due to the polarizers it uses) but not much. In this case the premium comes not from cost but from perceived value. Anyway the premium is said to be around $20-$30 not even close to $100
That said, I believe that we will see the base Adam with PixelQi for around $500, not €800.
I don't think I'd pay €800 for the Adam... specially in September.
