Android tablet vs kindle fire

[RedTawny]

Hi all, I'm sure this has been done countless times but I couldnt see any recent threads.

I'm considering getting a tablet for my 6yo for xmas. Actually for all of us weve never had one. I want to be able to find games for dd, maybe some educational apps, browse the internet and have other apps like messenger and iplayer. Oh and I'd like YouTube to if possible. Can I get these on a fire? Also if I get a fire (a regular one not a kids one) do I need to have some sort of amazon subscription?

I've seen a couple of samsung tablets which look quite good at about £120, this is expensive to me and I've read online that the fire tablets are always in black friday deals

Any recommendations? Thanks
