Amazon's new Alexa Tablets drop the Fire branding but are more Android than ever

Amazon has removed the 'Fire' branding from its tablets, which now run on a more Android-centric interface. The change comes after Amazon discontinued its Amazon Appstore, instead opting to use the Google Play Store for app distribution. This shift makes the tablets more similar to standard Android devices, with users able to access the full range of Google Play Store apps. The exact timeline for the change is unclear, but it appears to be a recent development.
