      Hello Bruce, we are really sorry that the WH-1000XM5 Bluetooth connection has been really poor with the Amazon Fire tablet, we'd like to provide you some recommendations you can follow to make it work properly:
      If the headset automatically connects to the last connected Bluetooth device, you may fail to connect the headset to other devices via Bluetooth connection. If this is the case, operate the last connected Bluetooth device and disconnect the Bluetooth connection.
      If the pairing information for the headset has been deleted on the Bluetooth device, pair the headset with the device again. If the issue is still unresolved please consider contacting us to gather more details about the issue. Contact us at: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=tv. Thank you for considering Sony products! -Ismael Sony_US
