If you are talking about the Fire, yes, it runs on Android. Question seems to be how "Amazonized" it will be. For example, how much freedom will people have to install apps that are not from Amazon's app store? Or will everything pretty much take place in a controlled Amazon-only environment? Could be wrong, but that's kind of the impression I get, based on the current information available.

The limited internal storage, lack of an external card slot, lack of support for epub format.......eh, think I will pass for now.
