It looks like you can install custom android roms (eg cyanogenmod) on Amazon tablets (eg https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=otterx - see other Amazon devices in the sidebar too)

They have had trouble getting support for new tablets/OS versions, and it is a huge pain to reset an Amazon device. No developer switch like on Nexus

Any android ROM is still primarily built for consumption at the end of the day.

Why? Just because android is not optimal for coding you can't say it's primarily for cumpsomption.

Android is just as much for communications and learning. Quite decent for writing also with a bt keyboard.
