We bought our son a Nook HD+ earlier this year and I like it better than my Kindle Fire HD (the 8.9" one). It's a full Android tablet that will work with apps from Google Play (the Fire is more limited and only the apps from the Amazon store are guaranteed to work. My son downloaded the Kindle app and was able to easily use our Amazon account to get books.
The new Fire HDX may be better (mine is just the HD) but the 16G Nook HD+ is only $150. You can also add a MicroD card to the Nook for more storage but you are limited to internal (and cloud) storage on the Fire.
Just thought I would mention it.
