Fire tablets are not Kindle e-readers. Amazon dropped the Kindle name from the tablets a few years back.

Is the Kindle App good? (lemmy.world)

I don't read to often but found out that it's cheaper to buy the books I do read on Kindle, is the app on phones good as I don't really think paying out for Kindle is worth it for me at the moment.

The Kindle app is very good, especially for being free. It also has an exclusive feature where you can earn achievements.

The app is widely available from smartphones to PCs and laptops.

I can't gush enough about how much I prefer reading on the Kindle. But the app is okay, in my country I can't buy from the app, I think because Google doesn't allow in-app purchases that they don't get their 30% cut from.

You also need to download the dictionary on its own. It's similar to a kindle though and much faster then a kindle. Also great for quick reads say on short bus/train trips. Syncs quite alright as well.

I'd say download it imo, then get a few of the free or cheap books (some Agatha Christie novels are like a dollar!) Try it out and see if it works for you.
