The Fire is a decent piece of hardware and a decent price, but you're sacrificing control over what you can do.
If you are happy to grant Amazon control over what you can and can't install, then the Fire is a viable alternative. For me, that immediately eliminates it as a consideration for a general purpose tablet.

It's all my fault...

As opposed to the Apple cult? Apple doesn't have anything comparable to Amazon Prime.

Amazon Prime is mainly a US based service

If they're based outside of US, that would be relevant to mention in the post.

Just get the Amazon Prime app for the iPad, then. And the Kindle app.
