Having both, I find that the Kindle Fire HD's speakers and feel in the hand are also a bit nicer. That said, the horrible app store and out of date android build get old. More than half of my apps on it are APKs I got from the support staff of the various companies and have to manually update. Since the Google Play store also won't let you just download the APK or run on the Kindle Fire (two play at that exclusivity game!).
