CNET has a detailed review.
They like it, warts and all.
Four Stars.

The Good The Amazon Fire TV Stick is a bargain at $40. It provides the best way to watch Amazon Instant movies and TV yet, and Prime subscribers can stream thousands of titles for no additional charge. The interface is zippy, and Amazon content streams lightning-fast. Supported third-party apps include Netflix, YouTube, Hulu Plus, Watch ESPN, Spotify and Pandora, as well as hundreds of games. Amazon also offers flexible parental controls, and setup is incredibly simple.

The Bad HBO Go and an iOS control app are promised soon, but still a no-show. The user interface strongly favors Amazon Instant content over other services, and the search feature doesn't comb through Netflix or most other non-Amazon apps. You really need a Prime subscription to get the most out of the device.

The Bottom Line While it doesn't match the app selection or search capabilities of Roku, Amazon's Fire TV Stick's solid performance and mastery of Amazon content make it easily worth the $40 price.
And that is at full list.
