Amazon Links to Competitor (Apple) Off Its Front Page

I've been avoiding most of the Jobs coverage, because while he was a brilliant man, some of it feels to me like self-promotion by those who are seeking to increase their own media profile on the coattails of a legend.

BUT, this simple link off Amazon's front page was HUGE to me. No long eulogy, no "My thoughts on Steve" commentary.

Just a DIRECT LINK to a COMPETITOR's site, at the same vertical position as the product link for their own Fire tablet. That's sportsmanship and respect at its' best.
