In my personal opinion, the answer is a May Be. The iPad and a Mac are two distinct and different devices. The iPad is great for content consumption and the Mac is great for content creation and distribution. If you are into app development and programming, then those tasks will be done best with a Mac. I suspect that the Amazon portion can be done with an iPad.
