Neil, you are right...I think the nexus is a much better deal.
I think the Kindle Fire has been over hyped. I think a lot of people are going to be disappointed in it...those who have bought it as an e-reader will find that it isn't all that(especially in bright light) and those who have bought it for its properties as a tablet will be disappointed because it won't do what they want a tablet to do.
I will stick with my Kindle for reading........and I might just buy an Asus transformer as a tablet...without the dock, it can be had for about the same price as a Kindle Fire HD and it looks like it has a lot more potential.
(although, I am happy to be corrected if anyone knows otherwise)
My generic tablet has the ES file explorer on it and the dolphin browser too
