Yeah, I can definitely see that. Listening to Jeff Bezos talk Amazon, you get the feeling he is a long term big picture thinker. Getting the Kindle working on all major devices, not just eReaders, is definitely a move that will pay off long term and have a huge impact on how we buy books in the future.
