The 6" Fire is intriguing. Not that I need another tablet.

I might have gotten my younger kid the kids' version instead of an iPad if this had been out back then. Looks good!

I just listed my 2013 Fire HD 7 16gb (3rd gen, they say now) for sale on Amazon. I would rather have the new 6" Fire, which has better resolution!

I might get the 8gb it's cheap enough, mainly use it as an ereader, and the times I'd be watching video, or listening to music it would be streaming from plex or from their cloud, it's not a bad little plex device for the money.

8 gb would be fine for using as a reader and streaming. We have some amazon-only apps that my kids like, and they at times go berserk downloading free apps, so I have to get the 16 gb. If I decide I need one for myself, I would probably get the 8gb.
