I just ran across "The 16GB Nook Tablet Only Lets You Use 1GB Freely" (via Dvice). It reveals that although the Nook Tablet proclaims 16 GB of storage (twice that of Kindle Fire's 8 GB), only 1 GB is available for non-Barnes & Noble content!
So in reality, that means that the Kindle Fire has six times the available space for us to geek-out.
