I also have the problem where there's really not very many paid apps I want period. Not even on Google Play. Most of the ones I might be interested in are priced too high and I just don't want them that badly. I wouldn't even spend the coins on them if they were on Amazon's App store.
Pretty much every paid app I wanted I already have other than the overpriced stuff.

I actually try to use Amazon over Google Play whenever possible. I've run into issues with apps showing as not compatible on Google Play when they really are, but show as compatible on Amazon just fine. (In particular, every Where's My _____ app by Disney. Who I will no longer purchase ANY app from because of that crap.) Also, I can share apps across my tablets and my mother's if I use Amazon but have to buy them twice on Google Play because we both have our own Google account. Amazon does have some advantages, they just don't push them enough. Being able to share apps across multiple Google user's devices would be great for a big family especially.

I doubt they'll go away, and the earnings are bad because Amazon has gone a bit overboard in expanding. The money sunk into the Fire phone was a big part of that. It remains to be seen if that was a wise investment or not. (I personally do not see the appeal, I doubt I'd take one for free. I certainly wouldn't replace my full Android phone with a Fire!)
I actually expect to see them expand what coins can be used on in the future. They'll probably add books/movies/music eventually.
