> It was in Sept. 2014 when Amazon dropped the Kindle Fire name for Fire. From what I vaguely remember, there were quite a few complaints about people buying the wrong item due to the Kindle in both names.
The one thing that made the Fire tablet a Kindle for me was that I could use it with books borrowed from the Kindle Owner's Lending Library that allowed Prime members to borrow one book a month. Since they got rid of that program, it has had no special advantage over the Kindle app in my Likebook Mars, and I can totally see how it would be misleading to call it a Kindle. The Android app has very different capabilities than the firmware on a Kindle device, and its main advantages are for audio books and magazines. For most books, I prefer an e-ink Kindle device, and I have used my Fire tablet for reading books mainly when the book made some important use of color.
