Like a few others have mentioned; the initial software update was painfully slow (it actually failed to download once, and I had to power cycle the device a couple of times), but once updated and I logged back into my wifi, everything seemed to work like a champ (Hulu, Netflix, Prime Video/Music, Plex, PBS). I'm assuming the new firmware image was huge and update servers were getting hammered. Later devices will probably start shipping with newer firmware, so things should get better from a "just fire it up and make it go" stand-point.
Unfortunately, the "Home" button on the Fire remote is in the location of the Select/OK button on my Roku remote. That's been the cause of several "oh fudge" moments so far.
I do find the Home Screen a little too "busy" for my utilitarian tastes, but maybe they'll allow some customization of that down the road.
