All my ebooks are in Kindle/.mobi format. Amazon certainly has a great selection of videos, and I like their Appstore. The Fire may make the most sense for me. There are two things that the Fire lacks that I'd like in a tablet: SD card storage and HDMI. And a slightly larger screen (8-9") would be nice, but I could probably get used to Fire's 7". Ideally, I'd like to see Amazon make a few improvements before I buy, and I'm also watching for price drops on other existing tablets as the latest Android version (Ice Cream Sandwich) rolls out. But the Fire IS very tempting!
If you buy stuff from Amazon, you don't need SD card storage - Amazon stores it (of course, you have to think ahead if you won't be near wi-fi for a bit). I love it as a nightime reading device, and think the apps work well. But it is heavier than my samsung galaxy tab, and given the closed system, I am finding putting movies onto it, which was easy with the samsung, presents some problems. And I couldn't get HBO Go to install, but I will try again, knowing some of the tricks people here have taught me. But, overall, I like the Amazon store, and buy my videos, apps and books through Amazon.

I give it an 8 right now, and if I can get beyond my frustration with movies, I will give it a 10.
