I ask because I have a lot of ebooks in various formats (including mobi) and would rather not spend the time converting the mobi ebooks I would rather use the Amazon reader app. I also purchased some apps from Amazon for my fire and would like to use those.
This is the only thing keeping me from ordering a Nexus 7.

Well this is a true Android OS and not the dumbed down
OS that kindle ham strung the fire with. i can buy off any web store with the NEXUS 7 and read books in any format with the rite App installed.
Amazon.com limited the kindle fire in small ways to maximize there profits in after sales department as well as making them depend on there CLOUD storage which im sure you know costs money over a certain storage limit.
Apps i use for reading-
1. books i bought off the Amazon.com website i use - amazon kindle App
2.side loaded (USB) MOBI and some other format books i use - FBREADER
3. Aldiko Book Reader for reading EPUB ebooks
You will be able to buy from any where including the apps that have there own online book store like Aldiko Book Reader
.There seems to be less info on the books sold on the Aldiko book store than what you would find on amazon.com but at least you have a choose as well as the many other online book stores you will be able to the best price that you want.
