Bluefire has very small margins and looks a lot better on the screen. Also, if there is an Android or iOS phone in the mix now or in the future, Kindle will not work well as the margins eat way way too much of the limited screen size.

This is not a put-down of the Kindle app. It's just that (IMHO) I feel that Amazon made a design choice that I feel doesn't work.
In this case, the software is less important than the hardware and reading on a backlit device, IMHO. The OP can install whatever they prefer for reading. My point was that as nice as the Xoom is -- e-ink is better for reading, IMO.

BTW, my library is not exclusively Kindle format.
