It applies to all Android devices. It is well-known fact that Task Killers cause OS problems. Android manages things just fine.

If certain apps are misbehaving, the app should be uninstalled.

No need to be sarcastic. That was just a guess on that thread. Anyone can be wrong about something it doesn't make them wrong about everything. It is really irrelevant to this thread.

Well you wouldn't want to kill any system apps but 3rd party app on the Fire can cause issue if left in Memory. The other day my Fire wouldn't even start up cause the Battery at 0% due to a app remaining in memory.

I have notice the Fire does not put some apps in suspension like other Android devices. Amazon has change something. I don't know what. Some apps are okay to leave running like Pulse, Email, Calengoo but some apps that are installed onto the Fire seem to get stuck in memory causing the battery drain issue some users are having. This is where checking what apps are running are important and making sure when you put the Fire to sleep nothing isn't running that shouldn't be.

This will ensure longer battery life on the Fire. I know from my own Testings. I don't use a task killer but manually close apps in Settings.

You will also notice on other Devices when some apps are killed it will restart itself. Not so with the Fire. It stays closed until you open it again.

I get 3 days of battery life with my Kindle Fire using this method. I am quite happy with that.
