I have the Kindle Fire and I love it however when it comes to apps it is slightly restricted. Browsing, watching films, iplayer etc are all excellent though.

As long as it's not a Google app (gmail, google+ etc) then there are ways you can get most apps from Google Play. Nothing to do with rooting or anything nasty, just download the file to a computer then drag and drop it in to the Kindle. I went for it as I prefer the reading app for my Kindle books however you can get a version for the Nexus.

However if it came down to it for overall use, I'd have gone for the Nexus if given the choice.
