I think I am going to trade-in one of the old kindles and get a newer 8" Fire. Thanks for all the comments.

the fires ( except for the fire 10 HD have 1280 x 800 screens screens so their text will be no better than the galaxy - and may be exactly the same pixel-wise.
e.g. Fire HD 8 The tablet comes with a 8.00-inch touchscreen display with a resolution of 1280x800 pixels at a pixel density of 189 pixels per inch (ppi). that's not great for an e-reader.
compared to Kindle Paperwhite 3 ... 6-inch, 1440×1080, 300 ppi
ppi is what you should be comparing for crispness of text.
you need to check exact models though, because samsung make some with screens like that but also some more expensive ones with full HD 1920 x 1200. that will translate into a much higher ppi
