The major difference is the iPad has more apps which makes many believe it is "open". The app selection for Amazon is meager and leaves people wanting
The complaints most people have about the Fire are more with expectations. They want a full Android experience but they are not getting it. But after all is said and done far more people are satisfied with the Fire than unhappy.
But to the OP I say none of the above there are better choices out there.

Apple allows other ebook providers like Amazon and Barnes & Noble to publish apps on their app store. Will Amazon ever allow a B&N app on the Kindle Fire? Probably not.
No, the real difference is that the Kindle Fire is vehicle for selling Amazon's digital content. While Apple has its own content services, they're more concerned with selling hardware. Having other content providers support it just makes their product look more attractive. Plus they collect 30% on all in-app purchases.
