Device: A Franklin BI (before Internet) was the first. I still have it.
Both the Amazon Fire and the Lenovo A1 have strengths and they both overlap each other in function. I find it easier to look at the weaknesses of each to really differentiate them.

Weakness (relative to the other tablet)
Kindle Fire to Lenovo A1
on board storage
(Fire) 6GB max; (Lenovo A1) 2+32=34GB minimum to 32+32GB=64GB max.
CPU for Video Rendition- Fire is better (will it be noticeable normally) probably not
Screen- Fire is better, but question if noticeable at normal viewing angles.
General Market availability Lenovo A1 is better normally. Fire can be made better with user intervention
Cloud - Hard to see a difference since the Kindle App can go on the Lenovo, but that remains to be seen. As far as storage in a cloud other than Amazon, there are plenty of options, free like Amazon and for cost also like Amazon.

Besides memory plus microSD, the Lenovo shines with extra hardware gems.
GPS (internal, none of that WiFi or Cellular tower assistance)
USB(OTG)
2 Camera,
Mic
Bluetooth 2.1
