Now I've had it a week. I can say I absolutely love this Kindle! I've been using it daily to stream holiday music.
I also love reading on it. Battery life is excellent.
One thing I love is has a nice wide bezel I can hold while reading so I don't turn pages. The HDX and Nexus 7.2 have little to no side bezel. So it makes the KFHD2 a joy to hold. Yes the text rending isn't a good as the Nexus but I don't mind really. I love the collections on the Kindle Fire but I am using Moon+ with Calibre Companion. It's the perfect combo.
The Goodreads integration is useless and I told Amazon so. I sideloaded the regular Goodreads app on it but other than that I have no complaints.
Oh Amazon finally listened and updated the Amazon MP3 app for Android so now my Nexus 7 and Samsung Galaxy Players can play Music by genre too!
Keep hoping an update is coming for the Kindle app next! Right now it can't see my entire Archive only the first 1000 books.
So I am happy I got my Kindle Fire which does see it all.
