My daughter has had a blast reading on the comixology app, I heard about problems downloading books and the like but I never ran into any (they may have been fixed before we gave her the fire for Christmas). Support for .cbr would be nice and all but she is young and I think frame by frame is just a superior reading experience than pinch and zoom on this size screen.
We got the device mainly for her to play games on, she loved playing them on the iphone but she has really warmed up to reading digital comics in the last two weeks. Mostly old school ones like Archie and Sabrina but she has also read Mouse Guard and Gwaii (I think its called Gwaii) and now asks for more comics at least as much, if not more so, than she does for new apps to play with. A pleasant unexpected surprise to be honest.
I doubt I will ever get her to read an actual book on the thing...but a comic is better than nothing and I have picked up her fire to read the Mouse Guard series as well, the frame by frame is actually pretty nice.
If it was just me...I would probably go with a .cbr reader and download free comics but for her the comixology app seems to work best. They have enough free comics (a few good ones mostly annoyingly incomplete "previews") to make it worth checking out as you don't actually have to set up anything it all works directly, and seamlessly, from the fire without having to set up an account with comixology.
