Re: Android One tablet?

I ordered a Kindle Paperwhite (7th not 10th generation, for longer battery life) to take over reading tasks from my "old" Samsung 10" tablet.

But to answer my original question, it seems if you want vanilla Android One instead of Samsung bloatware, one option is to jailbreak Kindle Fire 10. It sounds about as complicated as installing Linux on a Windows PC. I haven't tried but could probably do it. Future Amazon updates mess it up however.

BTW, my wife says the worst thing about her Samsung Note 9 is the Bixby button. She whupped it into shape, including Back button on the left, but sometimes she hits the Bixby button by mistake.
