All in all I'll probably give it another try after their next update later this year since the reversion to the original Amazon firmware works well, but at this point I think this is a work in progress.

That's why I think that N2Aos goes one step too far. I have found that with any device based on a version of Android, the overall, best, and most bug-free version is the version of Android that ships with the device. It has been tested and optimized for the hardware.
With regard to Kindle Fire (HD and non-HD models) I have found the best solution is to root it and use an alternative launcher. (and install Google Play) I still have access to the Amazon services and I'm only a few screen taps away from switching between the Amazon Kindle Fire experience and Android tablet-like experience.
