There really is no comparison. The Nexus 7.2 is a tablet with all the bells and whistles a Android tablet should have.
Now I said that let me compare a few things.
The Kindle app on the N7.2 I really like but it has a brightness bug that Amazon refuses to acknowledge so you must use Screen Dim to read your books. It has only one font which is Georgia. Not a problem because I embed my fonts. The margin isn't as wide as the KFs but the line spacing works correctly on the app unlike the Kindle Fire 2013 which spaces the lines way too much! Personal Documents work better on the app as well.
The Amazon music app works fine but it does not sort by genre. This is my biggest peeve because the iOS version does. The KFs do sort by genre and has a nicer interface all together.
Audible is nicer on the Kindle Fire and it has Immersion Reading which non Kindle Fires do not so you can read and listen as the same time.
The text rending on the N7.2 is superior to any tablet I have played with over the holidays.
There is no Google Play on the Kindle Fire so you have to sideload and here's the pain more and more developers are putting Google License checks on their apps which means it wont work on the Kindle Fire.
I have not tested the sound on the Nexus 7.2 yet I don't why I just been using it to read.
The Kindle Fire has a gaming circle and uses Game coins for in app purchases so that means game bought at Amazon app store for the Kindle Fire wont work on other tablets.
The Nexus 7.2 is fast, is light, slim and just plain gorgeous. If you had to go with only one the Nexus 7 wins. However if you want a media consumption device and own a ton of Amazon content like I do the Kindle Fire is the better choice. I got the best of both worlds so I am ecstatic!
I can't compare battery life yet as I only had the KFHD2 for one day. It's charging right now because it did a firmware update then had to download all my contents which is extensive. I think my Archive is nearing 7000 now then there is the music which I have 500 Albums on the cloud that I either bought or uploaded. I use it for 6 hours to play music and it was on 20% when I put it on the charger. It was on 65% when I first turned it on. Not bad at all!
