Bezos isn't lying. Though it's true that the article's author is exaggerating things a bit, the reality is that Kindle's doing fairly well. I personally believe that the primary roadblocks it's facing are the lack of color (which I believe is due to cost issues with the technology, since the e-paper stuff is pretty new), and the price tag. However, it also hasn't been on the market for very long, so I'd say that although it hasn't so far been a "killer" product, it HAS been generating enough revenue that it will probably justify a v2. (That's what I'm hoping for, because I'll probably be in line for a v2 model... though if the price tag came down to $200, I might get one now.)
