I kind of understand why Amazon makes mobile hardware. They control the software experience and push Amazon storefronts over Google's. You get people into an ecosystem and they become comfortable in it, so they stick.
They author says "No one makes money selling media for consumption anymore". But surely a properly executed (key word: "properly") foray into mobile devices is better for Amazon than staying out of it? If they can create a good value proposition for the hardware and a good software ecosystem too, that would be better for them then missing out on mobile consumption of all that media they've put so much effort into.

Or am I just completely wrong?
