Likely it's heavily subsidized vs market value in order to increase initial buy with the hope you will purchase from the marketplace. If you want an ereader get a paperwhite imo. But if you actually want a screen tablet this may not be a bad bet. There are lots of good cheap android devices these days too. Fire does run android but in my dev shop we treat fire with special care due to both the heavy modification and different store. It's not a pure android device so you're going to be very much locked in to the amazon market.
