They have done just that with their Android based non-eink Kindle Fire line. They run their own app store and it's not great. Imagine having all the junk of the Play market but with most of the good stuff missing. The only reason I use mine is because it's possible to install the F-Droid and Play apks so you can use it more or less like a regular Android tablet. I use my regular e-ink kindle 100% offline, I never turn off airplane mode. I only load content via USB using the Calibre CLI. I don't want my Kindle to do cool stuff. I used to think I did, I rooted my early Kindles and tried to do as much on them as possible. But then I realized that it's only a distraction from the one thing the Kindle is actually good at: reading long static text documents.
