Honest question for everyone. And sorry if I sound biased. But does anyone's fire tablet not run like shit? All the ones we have are slow to load, buggy, and seem full of bloat.

No, no, that's about the Fire experience in a nutshell.

Android's worst offense was accidentally increasing bloatware.

I'd blame Amazon on that one, you can get android to run pretty efficiently if you put enough time in tweaking it, look at all the custom ROMs getting modern android versions running on old phones and tablets.
