I have a Fire and a regular Android tablet and I've noticed I rarely touch the Fire.
It is pretty easy to put the Google Play store on the $50 tablet. I wouldn't let that bother you. The reason I bought the fire is that I am a prime member, and they will download videos for you, so you are never caught without something to watch. I have a 128GB SD card in mine.
