If you buy the kfhd, you are locked into amazon in many ways, and their app store sorta lags behind and is limited compared to the Google play store.

I like my firehd, but I love my nexus 7, for the freedom of running almost any app I find, with out jumping through loop holes to get the same app's on my firehd.

For what you listed as requirements for a tablet imo the nexus 7 or other tablets are closer to a match for you. I know for a fact that my nexus can do everything on your list.

The firehd is more as a media/entertainment device sorta locked into the velvet walls of the amazon garden. If amazon would let the walls down when it comes to running/using non amazon apps and content (music/video) (they seem to discriminate against not amazon) and let the firehd be all it CAN be it would be dam near the absolute best tablet on the market for its price bar none!

For now tho the nexus 7 imo holds that title.
