I'd like to store books, music, go online. I work outdoors, so something that I can view in sunny weather.

Fire HD, Paperwhite?

Thank you!

For just reading books, Kindle Paperwhite hands down winner, although if you can manage without the back light, any Kindle e-reader will fit the bill.

If what you really want is a tablet, then the Nexus 7 is the one to go for. Download the Kindle app for reading. But the screen is not ideal for reading in sunlight.

now, I was in waterstone's yesterday and had a quick look at their kindle range.
under their inside lights, rather dimmed, I found it hard to read the paperwhite because of the glare.
I once tested the sony reader under similar conditions (when waterstone's's ereader of choice to sell was the sony reader) and it didn't matter how close to the light i put it, there was no glare at all.
