what is better for viewng videos?

i have been thinking of getting a kindle fire hd but most of the reviews are not good because of the add amazon had placed on the screen. i want to get some type of device just to get on the internet and to download movies to watch so what would be the better unit to get for this? what would be the better operating system for this type of use. being i'm not real versed in these machines i don't need to get one just to find it will not do what i want it to do.

Update:

(And that's about it. However if that annoys you, you can pay an extra 15 or 20 bucks and get them shut off.)

i have read that the extra money does no good after a week or so they come back. and besides if you pay for one of these why should you have to look at there adds? kind of like have a paid email account and getting popup adds all day long. some may like it but others don't should be an option. thanks

    The ads aren't obtrusive. When you first turn it on, instead of having some random wallpaper they supply, the wallpaper is an ad.

    When you move past it, on your carousel screen (where you choose what you want to do), if you are looking at something, it lists some things underneath it that might be of interest to you. I kind of like that feature, cause if you are looking at a book, it lists other books with similar subjects that you might be interested in.

    And that's about it. However if that annoys you, you can pay an extra 15 or 20 bucks and get them shut off.
