I believe (though I could of course be wrong) that Bowerbird was referring to Amazon as a "credible competitor" to Apple (specifically Apple's iPad).
Sorry, I also meant this in the sense of "Amazon is a credible competitor to Apple for ebook reader devices." Sony and B&N being other ebook reader device vendors well-known to have a following among PG readers. PG has "competition" from other organizations offering various flavors of free ebook type thingees, including archive.org and books.google.com [Where I am sure I will now get flamed by some readers saying that NFPs aren't "competitors" to each other. Sigh]
