The Kindle integration brings up an interesting issue, which is that Amazon doesn't seem to really be investing in the Kindle SDK. Last I used it anyway, it's not very powerful, doesn't give you any integration with books, access to the web browser, etc. And that's if you do get access to the SDK, I know devs who've had a hell of a time getting in, even with genuinely interesting ideas. Of course there are privacy concerns, but it's the same problem that Android and iOS and solved well enough. Maybe they're worried about poorly written apps draining the battery? I think they're missing out on a huge opportunity. But another explanation would be that the current Kindle SDK isn't planned to last - maybe future eInk Kindles will run a watered-down version of Android?
