“The iPad and Kindle Fire are emblematic of their makers. Apple’s primary business is selling devices for a healthy profit, and they back that up with a side business of selling digital content for those devices. Amazon’s primary business is as a retailer, including as a retailer of digital content…. The Kindles are to Amazon what the printed catalog was to Sears a century ago. == Jon Gruber, Daring Fireball. The guy doesn’t write too often but when he does, it’s always awesome.”
