Very disappointed with the update. It doesn't change any of the main concerns the articles mentioned. |
I believe that Amazon is trying to establish a track record of actively supporting the KF with frequent incremental updates. Frequent updates (that improve things and don't break things) give a sense that things are continuously moving forward.
"Don't like a particular thing about the Fire? wait a few weeks and there may be an update that addresses it." (obviously no promises, but the psychology behind this method, works)
Compare and contrast that with what Apple does with the iPad (iOS updates are tied to and dragged by the other iOS devices), and what Barnes and Noble has been doing with the nook (waiting 6 months for a minor point release).
If Amazon can support the KF like a nimble start-up company and have the muscle and resources of an established corporation for longterm stability and growth of the ecosystem, they'll be quite successful with it.
