Will it require me to spend $$$ to disable the adware that the HD had?

Snapdragon 800-based devices are going to rock, but why don't manufacturers who implement them use all the features the chip has to offer, namely 802.11ac WiFi and USB 3.0. Both integrated in the Snapdragon 800, but both missing from the Kindle HDX line.

Too bad.

looks very nice, and priced directly to compete with the Nexus 7. now if it weren't for all that Amazon software... I'll concede that it's actually decent software, but still, I want my android clean lol

still no memory slot. Without that, not very useful to me when travelling and outside wifi coverage 🙁

In that case, Nexus is for you. Remember, most Android-based products (phones, tablets) are just that, Android-BASED. That means manufacturers can take the OS and do whatever they want with it, being open-source and all. And that is exactly what they're doing.

Yes, I believe there is a $15 dollars extra charge (one time) to have it ad-free (don't quote me on that amount, tho, I don't have the numbers in front of me).

With no sd slot I will stick with my Nook+ after a little moding it is not a bad little tablet.

There are plenty of wireless SD drives available so that answers the no slot problem with the Nexus and the Kindle
They start at $39 to around $99
