I've never used a Fire HDX, either. But I have had a lot of Fires. Currently the HD 8 is my favorite of all I have or have had. I used to love my HD 6 but this HD 8 is really nice, the size, the screen, the weight, I just love it. I like it better than my Nexus 7.
I got the 16 GB size, and added a 32 GB SD card. I don't like to get tablets with less than 16 GB if I can help it.
I have side loaded various apps, but don't have Google Play running on it. I also don't have a case. I just got a flexible plastic shell to put on the back. If I was to take it out of the house I would probably get a case that protected the front.
The 2014 HD 7 came out at the same time as the HD 6, yes? I got one for my MIL. She likes it, but I would say the HD 8 is much better. I love how thin it is. I think you should go for it. I am very pleased that I did. I even like reading in the Kindle app on this device, whereas I don't like the app on the 6.
