It really is a question of how walled the device is. I don't root or hack things. I am not that adventerous. I think that the object should work for me out of the box.
The Fire is begining to interest me because I like Amazon's cloud service and can see myself buying movies through Amazon and storing them on the cloud and then watching them on a Fire, my computer, and my TV sets. I have become disillusioned with Netflix and may be dropping its service. I have never used Hulu and don't see myself using it in the future so those are not selling points for me.
I do like the memory card slot but I am less worried about that then most folks. If I can download 10-15 movies on the Fire before flying for 18 hours, I will be good to go. I plan on reading on my Kindle, prefer the e-ink the the LCD, so I don't worry about storing books. The Amazon App store sells the Apps I am interested in.
If the Nook needs to be rooted then I am not interested. I know I can get access to what I want through Amazon, so I am not worried about that.
And then I ask myself about buying a tablet for a bit more, getting better functionality, a bigger screen, and a memory card slot.
