+1  I've seen such a trend in my industry too.

However.. I about 2yrs ago I *did* buy an Amazon Fire tablet  
for a senior relative so that she could view her family's  
Facebook galleries and messaging.  But.. I still haven't  
delivered it.

I may consider using the Fire tablet myself.  I'm tired of the  
relatively small video sizes of my Pixel or A7 when I feel like  
checking out a news program at bedside.
