Thank You!

There are a couple of quirks. When you power up, it comes up in the Amazon interface. I then just tap the Nova Launcher Icon and I am now in the standard Google interface. The quirk is that the back key and exit key from many apps will take you back to the Amazon Interface. Then you need to tap Nova Icon to get back to standard Android interface.

I never could get it to lock into the Nova Launcher. But it's just a minor annoyance.

I spent the extra $15 to eliminate Amazon Ads. In my book that was money well spent.

On the Amazon screen, I created a folder and then put all of amazon's apps into it so they sort of disappear.

One last thing: The Amazon Store does not always give you the latest version of a program. For example, I have the Adobe Acrobat Reader version 17.3.1 installed from the Google Play Store. The Amazon App Store will offer to "upgrade" it to version 15.3.1. So you need to be careful with which store you use for the updates.
