Most of the "browsers" in the Market are merely GUI front-ends for the stock Android browser - itself sorely lacking in even the rudimentary aspects of a PC browser. It's usually difficult to import bookmarks and pinch-to-zoom is usually choppy. Also, a lot of the Android browsers have non-standard interfaces.
I think that this is a problem with most mobile browsers and not just android - in many years of playing with mobile devices I have never seen any mobile device browser approach that of even the simplest PC or Mac software.

Thanks. Please note that I do have a Droid X and a Xoom. I'd be looking at picking up the Nook for an additional mid-sized Android tablet. The browsing experience on the Xoom is very close to a laptop or desktop. The new default android browser on the Xoom is great.
