    I’d wager that a significant portion of people who buy these tablets do so because they’re planning on turning it into a regular android tablet.

    To completely remove that portion of your customer base while also killing your own 3rd party app support seems like a suicidal move.

    why in god’s name would it make any sense financially or logistically to forego android and start your own OS? “If you like Fire Tablets now, wait until they don’t run any apps you like and are buggy as fuck compared to the competition.”
