- ForHackernews 12y agoAmazon is playing a totally different game with Kindle. They're not trying to compete with Google for general-purpose Android devices, they're trying to make limited-purpose Amazon-machines that help users consume more content from Amazon.
- hendersoon 12y agoAmazon isn't stupid. Yes, obviously they're in the game to sell their content, but they are well aware they need to offer general-purpose devices to compete, and they are absolutely on that correct path. Their execution hasn't been great, but they know what they ned to do and they're trying to do it.
