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.
