My only concern is being too tied into Amazon as a media source. It's not really been a problem with ebooks for my Kindle PW with Calibre there for removing infections from the ebooks and converting formats. What about other media though? Any issues?
Well, if you're an Amazon Prime member there is a ton of free streaming videos. I also have the Netflix app - it runs great on the HDX. The Hulu app also runs on the HDX.

I have a Nexus 7 too - but haven't used it for months now. Amazon finally added the android "triple tap" feature to enlarge the screen - so I can comfortably use apps.
IMHO the HDX screen resolution is far superior to the Nexus.
