It'd be very surprising to me if the resources put into the Echo had any impact whatsoever on the amount of resources put into the Kindle team.
I hear this argument a lot - "Why does company X work on feature Y when feature Z isn't complete", when features Y and Z are handled by completely different teams with their own dedicated resources.

Given how little the Kindle software evolves, it's hard to say whether it even has a proper team. Amazon is famous for taking all profits from one product, and investing them into other (new) products. This is precisely what annoys me here :|
