here's a not so enthusiastic David Pogue review http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/14/technology/personaltech/the-fire-aside-amazons-lower-priced-kindles-also-shine

  Pogue incidentally hits an important nail: "Now, choosing an e-reader is a big decision. Each company’s books are in its own proprietary format, and you can never sell or donate them." This also applies to 'appstore' accounts. However many thousands have been spent, they are not designed to be transfered to heirs or buyers.

    It's all about the price: $.99 per app (most common price) or $9.99 for a book... that and Apps are much more re-usable content than books.
