You should probably research what it can do and cannot do before shelling out the money. The generation 1 model was highly limited in video capability and availability, especially after Youtube and Amazon parted ways. Prime Video will likely cost extra for many, if not most, of the videos they watch. Hulu with live TV in USA is about $40/month plus taxes. It might allow Hulu shows from a non-live TV account though, but that wasn't clear from the description on the web site. At any rate, I think this unit will be very limited as far as the videos and video services that are available. Also, I think the generation 1 was not capable of being used as a tablet with Android apps, so this one probably won't be either. If you cannot install apps, then you won't be able to use Netflix, Sling, etc. unless Amazon adds those apps at some point.
