I have not seen a Kindle in use but I have seen a Barnes and Noble NOOK Color in use and I was favorably impressed with its features.  I imagine the Kindle is very similar to the NOOK.  This article may be helpful: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-33198_7-57319054-286/kindle-fire-vs-nook-tablet/

It depends what you want to use it for.  The Kindle fire is good if you are looking for an e-reader or something really basic.  If you are looking for something as far as web browsing, games, documents, or any kind of business use, i'd suggest either saving for something a little nicer like a Samsung Galaxy, Mororola Xoom, or an ipad.  If you're really in a budget, then go for a netbook by Acer.

I've got the Kindle fire and enjoy it, its a very basic tablet and ok e-reader (still prefer the original kindle for reading for hours). But as mentioned above really depends on what you want to do with the tablet. If you want to just surf the web, play some games from Android, etc. for the $200 price point hard to beat the Fire. Especially if you're an Amazon Prime member.

I just realised kindle fire is not out here in the UK yet. Does anyone know if I can tether wifi the Xoom tablet to the Samsung galaxy s 2mobile phone?

Here is a video of how to tether the Xoom to a Droid X via Bluetooth(I'd assume that the steps for the Galaxy S2 are relatively similar as both run Android):
