1. the kindle (ebook reader) is a great product but unrelated to fireOS and the product family 2.kindle fire are good cheap options for tablets but don't expect them to even compete with samsung tablets or ipad 3.FireOS is the worst feature of kindle fire products. their launcher is meh at best, the store is empty and some of the apps that are there not update as frequently. The first thing you should do when getting a fireOS product is to install the google play store + services So to answer the article's question: Nope.
