This actually concerns me a bit.
It seemed like before, Amazon was a fairly neutral digital content provider that wasn't going to lock me into a particular platform.
Now, I'm kind of worried that Amazon is eventually going to try and use existing Kindle and Instant Video purchases as a "hook" to push people over to their Kindle and Fire platforms to continue using those services. Sort of like Google and Apple.
A lot of people already have big investments in Amazon's ecosystem, and it seemed like Microsoft had a fairly good relationship with them before. I wonder now how this is going to affect Amazon's support for things like Kindle, Instant Video, and other services on Windows and WP. Will they just try to kill off Microsoft as a competitor by taking all those services off of Windows/WP platforms?
I'm wondering what Microsoft is going to do about the new Amazon phone. I mean, they were already competing with Apple and Google, but trying to deal with a tough new competitor that already has everyone by their Kindles...
Any thoughts on this?
