The idea of a 180 degree viewing angle is particularly comical. Who in the hell cares if you can make out the screen when it's at eye level? Does anyone use a computer that way? Does anyone read that way?

Not to mention the fact that to me, Amazon coming out with a tablet makes about as much sense as Nike coming out with a brand of ballet shoes.
Amazon making a tablet makes a ton of sense: They're a content provider who sell Android apps - by selling tablets they increase the market for their App Store.

It's the same reason they sell Kindles.
