The front bezel is slightly warped on both sides so its a little separated and on the left side you can actually see alittle light from the lcd. I spoke to support, they said I should be able to exchange it at best buy where I bought it. We shall see.

best buy exchanged it no questions.They felt the play on the left side. I just opened the new and I can see a little of lcd light thru the left side but it doesnt have the play in it like the last one did. Should I just get a case and be done with it?

Any other issues? I'm trying to decide whether I should give the Nook tablet or the Kindle Fire as gifts this Christmas.

This is interesting. I purchased mine's from Best Buy also. I'm trying to see if mine's has the seeping light as well and from what I can see, there is no light seeping through. Considering that it's a brand new device... I would exchange it again if you are continuing to see that light. Sure, a case would solve the problem, but if I'm spending my hard earned money... I want my money's worth. Just my 2 cents as far as that goes.

I, originally, had the Nook Color. Then I tried the Kindle Fire for about a week. I would say great device (nice build, great interface, etc). From the short time I spent with it... I saw no software issues whatsoever. I, ultimately, ended up going back to Nook [Tablet] because most of my library is with them and I love the interaction between the Nook interface and Facebook (my own personal little "thing" I like ). Can't go wrong with either one, but I will give it to Amazon as far as the seamless integration of all digital things purchased from them. It was really nice seeing movies I'd purchased on the Kindle.

Off topic, but I just got my Fire, and I agree with you about the interface and the integration. I love it. There are issues with screen responsiveness that I hope will be rectified quickly, but generally I like it a lot, even though it's not a full-fledged tablet. (I've got a Xoom for that.)

I have a Nook Color I bought early on, which I got solely for the hot-at-the-time Honeycomb hack, before the Xoom was released. I've since restored it to vanilla Nook, but don't find it that interesting a device. I'm trying to decide on trying out the Nook Tablet but other than speed, I'm not clear what would be that different. For a small, handy, Internet consumption device, I think the Fire is great. And, of course, the $50 difference, already having a number of Kindle books, and my being an Amazon Prime member anyway pretty much sealed the deal.

My only serious desire is for Bluetooth functionality so I could use it with my Bluetooth wireless speakers, as the built-in speakers have very little gain.

WHen people ask me this question, I ask them are they purchasing a reader with a few tablet features or a low cost tablet? If you want a reader, then Nook Tablet is a no brainer.....Barnes & Noble have 2.5 times the amount of ebooks available. I own the Tablet, and love it.
