Is there really only 1 GB for apps on Fire?

I got the new Kindle Fire for x-mas, and I was playing around with it. I noticed in the "device" settings, there's only around 1 GB space for apps. Is there anyway to delete the apps that come with the Kindle, and is there any other way to get more space for apps? What about storing apps in the cloud? Thanks!

Update:

Don't answer if you're just gonna tell me to get the Nook Tablet. All my online books were already on Amazon, and I'm not shelling out a bunch of money I don't have to get another tablet. Read the question, before you answer.

    Hi Melissa, Kindle Lemon .. er Fire indeed has very limited space for apps and it doesn't have microSD slot to expand the capacity. Cloud will not be available when you travel or where Wi-Fi is not available. Other reported issues with Fire are that it runs hot to touch, video playback is jerky, touch screen is not responsive and it takes 2-3 touches to register, power button placement is very poor and is prone to accidental power off, all the hype of Silk browser is not true where the browsing is actually slower than on other Android tablets, etc.

    Take a look instead at recently released Nook Tablet - it's been getting rave reviews and it is the best device in it's class - much better than Kindle Fire. It's got Netflix, Hulu, Pandora, Angry Brids, etc., the best battery life (30% better than Fire), the best non-glare laminated screen (vs. very reflective not-laminated Fire screen), double the RAM and space for apps/photos/movies, microSD slot, a microphone for Skype, and physical volume controls on the side (neither of those on Kindle Fire), very smooth video playback with excellent screen, and very fast apps load.

    Something like that. It is hard partitioned to the 1GB user and 7GB (I think) Kindle space.
