Not when they were the best selling tablet NOT coming from Apple.
Customer satisfaction with the Kindle Fire can influence customer acceptance of future models. If the Customer Sat numbers were high even given the limited functionality, then that bodes well for the newer devices. But if many were soured on their experience then that can dampen enthusiasm for future models.
The restrictions of the original Kindle Fire are still present in the latest generation.
- No access to Google Play
- Restricted access to apps in the Amazon Android App Market
- limited choice of web browsers (essentially Silk, Dolphin is available for those with the tech-savvy to sideload)

If a person asked for your advice on purchasing a tablet you would be doing them a disservice by implying that the latest Kindle Fire devices are equivalent alternatives to full-Android tablets from Samsung or Google (without explaining how the Fire is restricted). And with the further divergence of "Fire OS" from Android, you can expect a decrease in the number of Android apps that can be sideloaded... as Amazon removes unneeded APIs or modifies them in a way that is incompatible with vanilla Android.
