Amazon made it very clear from the beginning that the Fire was designed first and foremost for consuming Amazon content, and it does that very well. I do not regret spending the $200 on it.
It was never advertised as a tablet or a competitor to the iPad, so I don't understand all of the backlash from the people who wanted to use it that way.

Well, it turns out the more expensive thing is a nicer experience so his little sucker punch was a bunch of nonsense. I think that is the biggest source of backlash.
