I've got 3 Honeycomb tablets:
Xoom, Iconia, Eee Pad Transformer.
All 3 are absolutely identically re. Kindle app (and others like nook or Kobo).
I've got the Sony app on Xoom as well. But it's hardly usable, about 90% of the eBooks I bought for my Sony readers aren't available yet for download within the Sony app. It's easier to download the Sony books, strip them from DRM and use them in some other reader app.

Re. eBooks on tablets: I find most tablets to heavy for intense reading. Xoom definitely wouldn't be my replacement unit for Kindle. Personally, I still keep my Kindle DX Graphite: Battery, weight, contrast to name only a few arguments.
But if you want to get rid of your Kindle, replace it with a not so heavy and bulky tablet. Iconia for example would make sense.
