Hi TheShiningKnight, too many questions dude. Kindle Fire is OK for video playback, web browsing, and apps. However, it's not too good for reading (very reflective screen with no coating), and not the best for anything else with choppy video playback and slow apps load. For only $50 more, you can get Nook Tablet (which is Nook Color 2) - it's performance smokes Kindle Fire in all pro reviews specifically on video playback, the screen quality, and how fast apps load. Reported issues with Fire are it runs hot to touch, video playback is jerky, touch screen is not responsive and it takes 2-3 touches to register, power button placement is very poor and is prone to accidental power off, all the hype of Silk browser is a myth where the browsing is actually slower than on other Android tablets, etc.
Nook Tablet has Netflix, Hulu, Pandora, Angry Brids, etc., the best battery life (30% better), the best non-glare laminated screen (visibly noticeable difference in side by side tests in video playback and EBooks reading), double the RAM and space for apps/photos/movies, microSD slot (not on Kindle) and a microphone for Skype (not on Kindle or Color), and much zippier performance during video playback and apps usage than choppy/laggy act of Kindle Fire according to many user reviews. Nook tablet is a bit lighter than Kindle Fire as well.
