Still, the changes shouldn't effect the stability of the device. It still looks like Amazon can't be bothered to me.

No, "backend" is a term used in software to mean the code that does all of the real work behind the scenes other than the final stage of displaying the output on the screen, though these responsibilities often aren't separated as cleanly as they should be.

I'm a little confused by your position. Many who clearly have experience with software are agreeing with me. You clearly don't have such experience (please excuse me if that sounds rude, it's not my intention), yet you persist on saying it must be trivial.
