No I haven't noticed any margin defects on my Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 - no problems at all. Just to be on the safe side I usually order electronics at Best Buy (they price-match to Amazon), and if there are any problems I can return it very easily.

Yes it is for people heavily invested in Amazon content - for me it is a great thing. I got a lot of my books (many good ones) as Amazon Daily Deals; and the whole setup makes it easy to search/organized/fast. I think Amazon Prime is well worth the money.

I have sideloaded apps but not from Google market. Not a problem for me since almost all the apps I use are available on Amazon. You can search for yourself for apps on Amazon's website to see if they have what you need.

I didn't realize how much I appreciated the ease of using Amazon Kindle Fire tablets until I bought a Microsoft Surface RT tablet. When I got the thing there were 58 updates that took about 20 hours to download and install. Then it was updating to ver 8.1 which is another story.
