I love Kindles. But I'd never consider another Fire tablet, and their Fire TV and Fire Stick has never even been a consideration for us. We like Prime, and the benefits that come with it, but their video streaming is sub-par IMO.
We have a fast connection and a good router. All of our devices connect and stream Netflix and other streaming apps with no issues. Prime video, on the other hand, stops, locked up, the app closes for no reason, and so on. This happens on all of our iDevices and with the smart tv. It is reliable in its unreliability.
We use a Roku for those apps that our tv doesn't have, Acorn TV for example.
We are buying less from Amazon than in years past, for many reasons. I've never had an issue with a purchase that wasn't taken care of. But their shipping issues have sent up red flags for me, and I don't buy from them automatically anymore.
