The android phones come with Google Play and it's really easy to put the Amazon Appstore on them. My minimums for one of these are: 4-8 GB storage (preferably 8 GB or higher), 1 GB RAM, mSD, And 4.1 and up, dual-core CPU. I prefer a 4" display, but that's a personal preference and YMMV.
Remember; the better the specs, the longer it'll be able to use newer apps before needing a hardware upgrade. But then; if you can get one for under $50, it'll end up costing you less than $2 per month over the life of the device.
In terms of use, pretend it's a 4" tablet and go from there.

Thanks. Based on this (and the fact that the Moto G doesn't have a SD slot) I think I'll get another SGP until I can do some more research. Something I have been considering is an unlocked phone, which I think would do away with the searching problem.
