Amazon didn't waste a lot of time answering the challenge of the iPad. The New York Times is reporting this morning that Amazon has acquired Touchco, a touch screen company, and plans to incorporate its engineers into the Kindle division.

It doesn't take a PhD in analysis to figure out that Amazon is threatened by the upcoming release of the iPad and other eBook reader competitors, which already have touch screen versions of their devices.
