Well now if I didn't own a device, I wouldn't be going to Amazon near as often and would not spend near as much there.

Oh so you meant the money spent on stuff for the device.
Not what the customer actually spends at Amazon.

I thought Kindle would have a $50 e ink screen by now ? It would probably not have a built in light but still.
They're selling more than books -- they want something that will run movies and play music (though that part could be done with an e-ink reader). They also want a machine that makes ordering (anything) from Amazon easy. Tablets have become commodity items -- hardly anyone brags about their new tablet now-a-days. I wouldn't be surprised to see these Fires given away with a Prime subscription at some point.

I think they would too , I remember when banks used to give away toasters if you opened a new account with them. I think you're on to something rcentros The Prime service IS the Prime directive !

Since I haven't turned on my Fire in a while, how easy is it to access the entire Amazon store from a Fire?

Two steps.
Go: Home.
Go: Shop.
First text item on the menu.
Subtle they ain't.
