- nailer 12y agoThe Kindle Fire is generally thought of as a mid range smartphone. Comparing to other mid range smartphones: - Moto E is $150: http://observationdeck.io9.com/moto-e-review-1594224578 http://observationdeck.io9.com/moto-e-review-1594224578 - Moto G is $196: http://www.engadget.com/products/motorola/moto/g/ http://www.engadget.com/products/motorola/moto/g/ - Nexus 5 was $349 but has dropped: http://www.theverge.com/products/nexus-5/7422 http://www.theverge.com/products/nexus-5/7422 Amazon typically operate on low margins.
