I think that officially makes you the only pro-tablet person who holds that view.
I'd still be much happier if Amazon put out actual sales figures. But I concur it's much better for Amazon to focus the Kindle on reading, and develop reading apps for other devices.
Also, as per usual the statistics can be highly misleading. It's difficult to compare unit sales, for example, since the iPad is not exclusively an ebook reader, and the Kindle app can run on the iPad. Plus losing or gaining market share doesn't mean much until the market is more or less saturated. Except, of course, to the minds of journalists who fail to consider things like revenues and profit margins....
