Nod to the KF HD.

Why? From reports so far the Nexus isn't as tough as the KF HD. The KF HD takes a lot more from what folk tell me in the way of drops and such.

And about apps. I write such things and this link is on my list.

Yes, I gotta get one at the office where we write apps. But it's going to be the KF HD before the Nexus in the list.

It should make returning a snap as well as open the door to a lot of nice (free) content.

KF vs GN

I would recommend the KF simply because you will be tapping into a company's network who is utilizing extreme economies of scale which will ultimately benefit the user - you!

As more and more people purchase KF's Amazon is able to lower it's cost of content per user, passing savings onto you to stay competitive and increase market share. If you haven't yet used Amazon Prime it's also very good!

Quick disclaimer - I don't own a KF or GN, but I'm in the market for one too!
