I have the "official" leather case that came with the Reader's Edition bundle. It's really nice, IMO, seems well made. (Some don't like the finish of the leather because it's subject to scratches, etc, but I just wipe it down with leather conditioner once a week and it takes on a nice aged patina.) I think the non-leather versions are made the same, just different material.

Most apps can be stored in SD, but there are two caveats (and this is an Android thing, not a Fire thing): Not all apps can be moved (the app dev has to allow it), and it doesn't move the whole app. There will always be at least a small bit of the app on the main storage and, for some apps, the largest part of the app is still there. It can vary quite a bit.

Many apps also don't offer the ability to store their own content on SD. Zinio, for example, which annoys me to no end because magazines can be huge.

It's all definitely stuff to consider. I really enjoy using Fire OS, and most of my tablet use is either within or related to the Amazon ecosystem, or books sideloaded with Calibre. It's mostly for reading and a few apps that I use. I'm more of a laptop than a tablet person, so for anything else I go to my laptop. If I was seeking to do more tasks on a tablet, I'd probably look beyond the Fire.
