The fire phone would have succeeded if it was a solid android device on one side, and a solid kindle screen e-book reading device with email on the other side.

This form factor would be revolutionary for many people, and amazon could pull it off.

Yota Phone tried that and didn't succeed. They we're also sold on Amazon, so Bezos had the sales data, and he chose not to invest.
