As far as the Fire being a "rushed clone" of the playbook well I dont see the similarities beyond the 7 inch size.
The Kindle shares more than the screen size. It uses exactly the same screen, processor, motherboard and battery:

As to weight, the latest Ipad is about 1.3 lbs, the Fire is about 14 ounces so I'm not sure any Kindle weighs as much as an iPad
