The Kindle app works just fine even though it is not yet specifically designed for Honeycomb. It looks exactly the same just with a larger dimension and the 16:9 aspect ratio is perfect for replicating a paper book when used in portrait mode. The page turns are not quite as smooth, with a half-second hesitation but nothing bothersome. The covers are stunning on the Xoom's gorgeous display!

This. It works fine but is "plain-jane" as compared to the nifty google book reader that is already installed (with the page flip animations etc.).

True. But since there doesn't appear to be a way to side load a .mobi file in the native app at least the Kindle app works.This. It works fine but is "plain-jane" as compared to the nifty google book reader that is already installed (with the page flip animations etc.).
The kindle itself is slow to turn pages - the app's that I have tried on both IPad and Droid X are also slow to change pages. It's quite annoying when you are used to being able to change pages as fast as you can click the button - Here's hoping that the XOOM changes pages w/out the dreaded delay.

An e-ink device requires some time to clear and redraw the screen. That's not the case with an lcd (other than the intentional page-turn animation slowing)

Yes - one of the reasons by my PRS500's and Kindle gathered dust after getting the Ipad. Once you get used to instant page turns there is no going back - for me at least.
EPUB - Does the Native XOOM app read EPUB?
