Fire stick is relatively limited and my neighbor complains about it forgetting its brains. I personally think you are far better off getting a Roku 4. If you already had a Roku 3, which is what I have, it's sort of a toss up whether to upgrade. I bought my mom a Roku 4 and while I like the additional features, I am still happy with the workability of the 3 (I don't do gaming). She uses it to watch news and features on Yahoo as well as Netflix on a daily basis. Plex works on both - I haven't quite figured out how to do the music and audiobooks from my computer yet, but the movies have worked out fine.
