I started researching new Android-based tablets for myself and I ended up comparing these 3 main Android tablets:
I have been a long-time Amazon Kindle Fire user and they are great tablets overall. However, these are 2 major cons of these tablets that I have found over the years:
Next up, the Barnes & Noble Nook: http://nook.barnesandnoble.com/u/samsung-galaxy-tab-4-nook-tablet/379004262
I bought the Barnes & Noble Nook when they first came out with the Nook Color and the only reason I really bought it was its support for the ePub format as well as the optional microSD card which allowed me to expand its memory.
The new Barnes & Noble Nooks are a significant upgrade from the Nook Color by offering Samsung-based tablets that not only continue to have the optional microSD card but also have support for the Google Play store!
In addition, Barnes & Noble is now offering incentives to trade-in old Tablet devices towards credit for a brand new Nook! http://nook.barnesandnoble.com/u/trade-in-your-nook/379004337?cds2Pid=49746
That is a pretty great incentive to trade up to the Barnes & Noble Nook in my opinion.
Finally, there is the Google Nexus tablet: https://www.google.com/nexus/9/
It is the only tablet among the 3 listed tablets which does not have support for an optional microSD card making it an expensive and severely limiting tablet. However, since it is Google's own creation, it ensures that everything from the Google Play store will work on it as well as always have support for the latest versions of Android.
If you are an Android user that wants the best of both worlds (Google Play store and tons of storage memory), I would definitely choose the new Barnes & Noble Nook. However, if you are satisfied with the limited selection of Amazon Kindle apps provided in the Amazon Kindle App Store, the Amazon Kindle Fire will definitely be a much nicer tablet to use overall.

I have been a long-time Amazon Kindle Fire user and they are great tablets overall. However, these are 2 major cons of these tablets that I have found over the years:
- They did not have expandable memory options through use of an optional microSD card
- They did not support native Android apps from the Google Play store. The apps found in the Amazon Kindle store are still much more limited than the Google Play store.
