I don't mean primarily "as competition for ... the Kindle" or other e-Ink ereaders.

I mean, like the iPhone, as an adjunct or partner to the Kindle — people buying Amazon's ebooks are relying heavily on the iPhone to read their books at times when their Kindle is unavailable.

The synching between your Amazon-registered devices is a key feature lifting the Kindle experience above Sony and other ereaders. It's way more critical than is being acknowledged (and is why Amazon may require 3G before porting its readers to any device).
