It's the same as with ebooks: first you choose between kindle and epub and after you choose epub Kindle becomes irrelevant. And vice-versa.

Some look at the hardware and not the platform. They see all these cheap Android tablets and how poor they really are and go with an iPad that has a good level of performance.
What Amazon is trying to tell everyone is that the Kindle Fire HD 8.9" model is a comparable tablet to an iPad at a lower cost.
