I just don't see the point of one, outdated hardware,cheap, proprietary software just not really a market.

Really not a market? If you knew how big of a mover the Kindle product line is you'd be amazed. The Kindle started out as an e-reader and grew from there. Many of the models today are still competitive in the e-reader market and have many added features. You can also get versions without the advertising if you're willing to pony up more money.
I'm not advertising for Amazon, I sold my Amazon stocks for a tidy profit a couple of years ago so no longer have any interest. I just believe in knowing what you're looking to buy and doing a little research to see if the product does what you need it to do and how the competition compares. Once you've done this you can almost always end up with a product that will meet your expectations, if you're willing to pay the price. If you shop for price alone you are just asking to be disappointed IMO.
I own a Kindle Fire and a Smart Phone. I find that they both have their places and use the hell out of each for what they do best. If I had to give one up, it would be the Smart Phone.
