I was sorta suspecting. I'm too used to Android and it's illusion of openness - it may not be truly open, but you CAN rip the guts out, recompile them to suit yourself and shove them back in and still expect it to boot up and do Android stuff, even if you have turned all the menus upside down and replaced all the fonts with Aurek Besh. It's like software meccano, you might not be able to produce your own kits legally, but you can build functional steam powered ferris wheels if you want to. Whereas Kindle OS seems to be more like Airfix - you need a fair bit of skill and practice to get anything other than a squint black and white spitfire, and if you glue two different kits together, they won't send you any replacement parts.
