I think that what the article suggests is not to turn Kindles into tablets, but add specific applications. For example, there may be applications of The New Yorker or the Washington Post which are real reading applications: with no distracting ads or notifications, but with updated content and a tailored experience. Web sites may also have specific Kindle versions. This sounds like a terribly ambitious goal, but we are talking about Amazon. Amazon has been capable of much more in the last 10 years.
