If I was a fire owner without a iPad, I would be irritated that amazon's flagship kindle device not only lagged behind its iOS counterpart from launch but with updates is falling further behind. For the fire not to have cloud docs and shelfari book extras is atrocious in my mind.
I think what it shows me is that on the kindle ebook vs iBook battle is not being fought on the fire vs iPad front but on the iOS app vs iBooks arena. They are prioritizing the competition and resources with its iOS app. Most if not all the fire's shortcomings on the hardware side are forgivable given its discount price. But to take a discount approach to your software support of the fire is puzzling. How lazy do you have to be to have your Facebook app not even be a app but just a shortcut to the web interface? There is a reason why apple exudes quality and everyone else falls further behind. Their kindle fire staff must really be 2nd rate programmers/coders.
