Amazon was able to knock Samsung into third place in Q4 last year mainly by offering steep discounts on its Fire Tablets.
Amazon beat out Samsung in holiday tablet sales last year by slashing prices, says report
I bet many Amazon tablets were bought by poorer people who needed a cheap tablet to play mobile games like Pokemon Go, Clash of Clans, Fidget Spinner games, and use apps like Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, and Netflix.
Some users also root Amazon tablets to install a custom Android or Linux OS ROM to remove the Amazon apps.
If you have only $40 to $50 to spend on a tablet, An Amazon tablet is usually better than most of the cheap tablets sold at stores like office supply, electronics, department stores, and shopping websites.
