I wanted to find out how much of Amazon can be stripped out from the Fire 7 without having root access. Bearing in mind that my Fire 7 is currently connected via OTG Ethernet and I have not joined Amazon and associated my device. Basically a standalone device only with OTA Update disabled via ADB Shell. Considering we do not have root yet available we are limited in options and please bear in mind that this example is for my own personal preference.
I now have a Fire 7 with the Amazon footprint removed as much as possible with the exception of services that cannot safely be hidden and the dreaded Fire Launcher. Everything else I have hidden via ADB Shell. Please see first screenshot of my stripped down Fire 7. Key essential services/programs for me such as Google Play, Google Calendar, Fire 7 Settings all work smoothly after I removed the others.
I do not need the following on the Fire 7 as I will either install my own program from Google Play or remove the service completely. The following have been hidden [Amazon Email client, Calender, Camera, Help Files, Silk Browser, Amazon Video, Amazon Music, Amazon WEather etc]
In the XDA Develpers Fire HD 6 & & Forum I came across a list of safe com.amazon processes that can be stopped on the Fire HD6 & 7 tablet. So I thought I would give them a go plus a few of my own attempts as well.

com.amazon.kindle
com.audible.application.kindle
com.amazon.kindle.kso
com.amazon.tahoe
com.amazon.kindle.otter.oobe
com.amazon.client.metrics
com.amazon.device.backup
com.amazon.platform
com.amazon.photos
com.nuance.edr.androidservice.service
com.amazon.whisperlink.core.android
com.goodreads.kindle
I then proceeded to highlight specific services such as the Calendar, Email Client and other associated Amazon services that I do not require. I used XDA Developers and Google as a reference as to what is actually safe to hide, made a note of the actual system process name and then hid them via ADB Shell and went from there.
