That is me,too
I don't do mobile gaming or video--the living room's the place for that.
I just wanted a hardcover class color reader and I really wanted to go with Nook because of the sdcard.
In the end the lockdown settled the issue.
Amazon plays some petty games with their app store but it took me less than 5 minutes to not only get Nook up and running on the Fire, but also the competing 1mobile app store. No hacks, no sideloading; the Silk browser let me d/l and install 1mobile just fine.
Whatever their expectations for the tablet, at least Amazon lets me do whatever I want right out of the box.
