My first tablet was a fire. It worked fairly well, seemed more durable than some of the others I looked at. It is nowhere near the Ipad obviously but will perform many functions. One thing I did not like about it, and I dont know if they have fixed it was that you could only use Amazon apps. While they have most, it did limit you on some occasions. By going with an Android tablet using chrome there was more variety in what was available.
Amazon may have fixed the problem, but I know it was a problem a while back.
What you describe is not a "problem" to Amazon -- It's a design feature they built in.
Go on youtube, there are videos of how to hack the Fire Tablet so you can access the Google Play Store to download any app you want. We have two Fire Tablets and I hacked them both. Both work perfectly. I bought the 7" Fire table for $50 new and the larger one on sale for $100 new at Amazon (normally were $150).
