Amazon has to compete on price because they don't own the device. They never recovered from the iPod disrupting their CD business. Actually, I don't think they know how to compete on anything else. Their entire MO is avoiding competition with other tech companies by entering business too unattractive for the power players. For example, digital media (books, music, movies) is a terrible business, because bits are the essence of commodity.
