the difference between a device like the kindle fire and the nexus is you have everything amazon offers within one device. You don’t have to jump between apps. The reading experience is a little different and in my opinion having used both I like the kindle method better. One is not better than the other, it’s the experience you get with the fire that counts. The speakers are a lot better and I think the interface is easier to understand as well.
