One has to see this as part of the broader efforts by Amazon to establish an ecosystem ... the first, best, most natural choice for pretty much everything. It doesn't mean one will always choose Amazon, or that it'll even be the best choice ... but it always wants to be part of the conversation.
Isn't that what every retailer wants?
