Not so much anymore! They have recently added Google Play, and Chrome browser. It is now a simple matter to add any of the 3/4 million apps available from Google, including several very capable alternative launchers as well as any of the available ebook readers. If I’m not mistaken it’s even preloaded with Kindle for Android.

And the best part, they have a fire sale going on right now, making the HD and HD+ the most bang for the buck available anywhere. I ordered a 32 GB HD+ on Sunday, to be used primarily as a reader in the Kindle ecosystem.
