If you want smooth the Tegra-3 1.4GHZ proccessor will get a lot more done than the Playbooks 1GHZ dual core; this will help multi tasking greatly. Even though the Playbook was originally sold at $499 doesn't mean that it took that much to build, it is estimated that the build cost is about $170 about a year and a half ago. And IPS screen gives you a better viewing angle than the TFT of Playbook. And the Nexus is 340G weight, the Playbook is 425, lighter means it will be easier to read with in bed or with one hand.

{Kindle Fire opinion}And I take you don't live in the U.S? If so I wouldn't recommend the Kindle Fire, it is very closely tied to Amazon, the Android version that it runs is very heavily modified and optimized for consuming of Amazon's products (Movies, books, magazines) and unlike mgmueller said, they are not easily hack-able. {/Kindle Fire opinion}
