3. People buy the Fire Tablet as a Tablet, not to read books or listen to stuff, yet it's one of the most popular by volume. Of course they don't make much profit from the sales, unlike the iPad, where majority of price is profit.


Curiously I have an Android phone (as do others in the house) and we don't have WhatsApp, Instagram etc. We do have other apps.
Just my 2 cents regarding point 3. I bought a 2024 Fire tablet for 3 reasons: to have a portable Netflix/Plex/etc. viewer, for The Husband to enjoy his games on a larger-than-a-phone device, and to read PDFs and graphic novels/comics.
