Moneyquote: "Google's reaction to Kindle Fire speaks volumes about its goals for Android. Kindle Fire is based on Android, and will run Android applications. Android has been struggling in the tablet space, so you'd expect that Google would be delighted to have Amazon on the Android bandwagon. But you'd be wrong. Let's look at the press release Google issued today to welcome Amazon to the Android family. Wait a minute, there is no press release. Okay, so let's look on the Google blog. Nothing at all.

Agreed. I own both a Kindle and an iPad. The Kindle is for reading, the iPad is for everything else.

No surprise here. Reading on the Kindle is a joy.

As a Kindle owner, I hope this translates to amazing software updates. Not just better hardware for future customers.
