Amazon’s tablets could launch in August-September time frame
According to DigiTimes, Amazon’s rumored Android tablets could launch as soon as this August or September. The online retail giant has a global sales target of 4 million units, with 700,000-800,000 units shipping monthly, and it hopes to get its products in customer hands during the peak sales period of the year — just before Thanksgiving and the holidays
I'm holding off an Android purchase until Amazon's plans are finalized.

Seriously that is one of the most absurd things I have read.
I understand the razor and razor blade business. The Kindle was exactly that but a tablet is not the same. Where is the long term recurring revenue from an Android tablet that offsets losing on the hardware?

Amazon wants to sell you content like this recent announcement :
Amazon Instant Video Now Offers Customers More Than 100,000 Movies and TV Shows

I'm guessing Amazon is hoping to follow the Windows/IE model. Internet Explorer was able to capture 90%+ of the browser marketshare by being the default/only browser installed. Right now, Amazon apps have to be downloaded onto third party tablets and Apple gets a cut of in-app purchases. That won't be the case with the Amazon tablet. Their store will be right in your face and no other company will interfere with the payment process.
