From what I've heard, the Amazon tablet doesn't appear to offer anything significant to separate it from the myriad 16x9 10" tablets flooding the market -- it will most like be a reskinned Galaxy Tab, possibly subsidized to entice users to enter into Amazon's ecosystem.

But in my experience the Galaxy Tab is sub par to the iPad 2 in terms of user experience (before someone accuses me of evil things, I have gone through a Galaxy S, Vibrant and now I use a Nexus S).

So, again, I see nothing earth-shattering here.
annnnnd maybe we just need to sit here in the bleachers and see what they come out with
