I want one.
And seriously, 79 buck for a kindle is not bad attall. you could do much worse, like signing up for ambit energy.

I think the fire is the color one - is it basically a tablet, kinda an Ipad-competitor?

I don't know, but it comes with 3G wireless you don't have to pay for.

the fire is going to be a tablet and not just an e-reader so no comparison to the kindle

As a e-reader, the fire takes the cake.  As a tablet, not so much.
It really is just a $200 amazon vending machine.

There are probably more secure options, but Amazon Freetime should be built in. Set up a profile, add just Zoom, and launch the profile. They can still exit the Zoom app, but there won't be anything else to go into.

There definitely is I just have no clue how to do it. I know a yeshiva that gave them out and set them up like that.

Those are rooted, they charge 150 for those.
I'm not who you think I am.
