After my experience with the first-gen Kindle Fire, I'm disinclined to ever buy hardware from Amazon again.

The latest Kindle Fire works perfectly for me. I even installed the Google Play apps I wanted through an APK downloader and sideloading.

Their culture is different from Apple. They didn't get a perfect product first time. But their revisions have been awesome and the beat Apple on price. Combined with Amazon prime, it does offer some advantages on content.

Agree. What a disappointment that was. I ditched it for an iPad and never looked back. The iPad was a revelation compared to the Kindle Fire.
