I bought it to read comics and manga on too, I'll probably stick to my first gen Kindle Fire for books. I'm planning to root mine and use vanilla Android on it, since you can do that from an SD card install. (Amazon's Android fork on the Fire has left me seriously unwilling to try another fork, it sucks so bad...)
I'm going to check out Target when I'm up near one this week, hopefully that one has some discounted accessories too.
