Basically I use it like I used my old 3G Kindle before the screen broke.
As far as typing, I haven't noticed a problem.
I am like you, the OS is fine and since I am heavily embedded in Amazon, Prime, etc. I feel at home.
Of course I like the built in Alexa.

I’m a big fan of the Fire Tablets. I bought the first 7 inch years ago and a new one every year since. I’ve left one in a cab...never to be seen again. That wasn’t nearly as painful as the iPad I left on a plane! They have been my constant “traveling for work” companion. I load them up with shows and movies so that it doesn’t matter if the hotel has good WiFi or the movie on the plane is bad
