I would think they are more interested in selling ebooks.
If Amazon had not released Kindle apps for the iPhone/iPad, Blackberry and soon for Android, they probably would have sold more Kindles.
At least some avid readers would have chosen a Kindle over an iPad, if they didn't have access to Amazon's ebook store.
