I think the percentage of people who consider the Fire skinned is nearly as small as the percentage of people who load a new rom. Most who choose a Fire are not interested in roms, rooting, skins, or android. They want a small, portable, inexpensive device that has lots of free apps, games, and books.
Given how carefully guarded tablet sales figures are, I wondered what the basis for the proclamation was. Per the linked page...

Reporting Methodology
The Jumptap MobileSTAT reports mine large quantities of network data to identify targeting and audience trends. Jumptap uses proprietary algorithms to analyze and normalize the data. In some cases, when sufficient conditions are met, subsets of data may have been used as proxies to represent the overall network.

They ain't sayin'
Proprietary algorithms applied to subsets of network data. LOL.
Another blogger says Apple has lost 14% of market share in 2013...
Note the source at the bottom of the graph -- more made up data.
BTW, except for the numbers, the two speculations do not argue. Apple could, in fact, continue to be dominate even as it loses double digit market share annually. Know who else does that? Microsoft. Nothing to see here, just move along.
