My experiences almost mirrored yours, in terms of being unexpectedly delighted by it. I also like the minimalism of it and the feel and balance. The just-in review tend to favor the Nook Tablet screen in terms of clarity and being less reflective (karmic payback for all the Amazon bashing of ipad screen glare), but I still don't like the clunky Nook form factor. Then the Nook apparently has a new but still confusing layout, with various shelves and pages, and I think I read that 15 of their 16GB of storage is still devoted only to BN content and apps. The nice app selection on the Kindle is also more impressive, especially since they're going to have the clout to get developer attention (and the free apps every day certainly help). I even liked that Amazon included Netflix right away, even though it's a competitor for their streaming video service. I wonder if the success of the Fire might actually cannibalize their eink device sales--my K4 looks a little too simple and limited after the Fire, although it's still good to pop in my pocket when I'm going somewhere.
