It is making me wonder if this is the start of a trend of all major content retailers offering "walled gardens" of available content, complete with requisite devices. From a business perspective, it makes a huge amount of sense albeit with one huge caveat. The devices have to be incredibly good and easy to use and provide value for the money. Amazon's ereader is one of the best and it isn't because of the store it is attached to, although this is a plus, it is because it is one of the leading devices in the field.
