Apple working on OS X-based multi-touch Kindle killer?

Steve Jobs told John Markoff for the New York Times that “American’s don’t read.”, when he was asked what he thought of the Amazon Kindle, a device that lets you read books and buy them on a large portable device. Apple design could easily do a much better job of creating this device, but this rumor doesn’t seem likely with the SDK announcement coming up later this week. What Apple may do is sell books through the iTunes Store and make them readable on an iPod Touch, iPhone and the computer. Basically what I’m trying to say is that Apple could be creating a platform, not a device.
