Yes, it does, and that's a problem. Maintaining two separate code bases requires roughly twice the person-hours to develop and maintain compared to one unified code base. Unifying Kindle OS and Fire OS is a sensible thing to do now that the ARM SOCs on Kindles are more than powerful enough to run a full Android stack with good performance.
