On the Fire I simply hold it with the palm of my hand. I can't do that with the K3 it would slide right out.
I had no problem holding the Coby Tablet I sent back either.

Correct
In engineering, the way distribution plays an important factor on ergonomics and how a device handles overall.
While a bit different, this is also true on bikes. Putting more weight to the bottom or center, will change the whole dynamics of the bike. This is what we call center of gravity.
I find myself more comfortable holding the Kindle Fire than the new Nook Tablet. Because the Nook Tablet is more rectangular than square, it tends to push down when I hold. The Fire is more neutral on that regard. And the Nook Tablet is less heavy and thinner, by the way.
Of course, your hand's size and strength plays an important role too.
