Amazon Buys LexCycle and Stanza - Will They Survive?

AppleInsider | Amazon scoops up developer of leading eBook iPhone app. I have recently discussed my preference for the iPod Touch as an Ebook reader over the Amazon Kindle. The Touch features a free ereader application, Stanza, by LexCycle, that provides access to thousands of free ebooks on the web. Amazon, on the other hand, focuses on books that cost money, and can only be read on the Kindle. This proprietary solution makes the Kindle, albeit a bigger screen, a much more expensive proposition. Now, Amazon has bought LexCycle, and, although the behemoth claims they will not alter the Stanza experience, I am doubtful.
