The store front is better than Kobo and B&N. They have included all of the must have features from their main site and included it to the app. The book summary, reviews, and buy now button.
The reader is about as good as B&N, which is not saying much, but does not have the ability to search.
The books on the Kindle do look nicer than those of the eReader/B&NReader, most likely due to MOBI being a more feature rich format than eReader.
The ONE SAVING feature is you can sync it with your Kindle, PC which is cool!
The good news is amazon has listed

Future Improvements
As with all our services, we will continue to improve the Kindle for Blackberry application. Below are some of the features to be added in the near future:
* Scrolling
In addition to page-by-page navigation, you will be able to scroll text line-by-line.
* Create Notes and Highlights
Along with viewing the notes and highlights you created on other Kindle devices, you will be able to create and edit notes and highlights.
* Search
You will be able to search within your book.

It would be nice if they add dictionary support.
The Mobipocket reader is still by far a much better reader, it has more font customizations, search, highlight and dictionary lookup.
