CEO Stephenson says AT&T may have missed Kindle opportunity

Updated

AT&T (T) CEO Randall Stephenson said his company may have missed an opportunity with Amazon's (AMZN) Kindle book reader. Instead the company will provide wireless access for Plastic Logic's ebook reader.

"I'm an avid Kindle user," Stephenson said at the Fortune Brainstorm Tech conference in Pasadena, California today. "I bought one of the first devices that came out and fell in love with it." When asked if the Kindle was the one that got away for AT&T, Stephenson said, "Maybe."
