Just FYI: Each eligible account can get one $50 off offer ($19 kindle or $89 kindle fire)
AND one $75 off offer ($44 paperwhite or $154  Kindle Fire HDX 7" ).
My favorite cause: cssy.org

I was looking for something to use mainly for seforim but some basic emailing. I would specifically want to maintain tzuras hadaf like hebrewbooks.org. I was thinking of getting a cheap android tablet-they have them on amazon in the $50 range. Would the regular kindle or paperwhite work for that or would I need the android capabilities of the HD? Is there an advantage to the kindle hd over the android tablets? It seems that it would be a bit more complicated to get apps on the kindle since it doesn't have google play.

if you want תצורת הדף then you're basically going to be using the PDF reader, which as far as i know is available on every android tablet and also the kindle Fire line. I use my google nexus 7 in shiur sometimes and it does the job quite well.

The paperwhite says that it supports pdf natively. The question is if that includes image pages and how easy or difficult is to get them onto the kindle. It seems that the paperwhite does not have email capability.

The screens are too small for tzuras hadaf imho. A larger 10" tablet is the way to go for that.

All four (kindle, Paperwhite, 2 fires) can download documents and have internet capabilities for searching and browsing only (fires can download also)
Only fires have color, email, video, speakers, and downloading mp3 audio shiurim capabilities.
CMIIW, but I think only the HDX has a mic
 kindle vs. Paperwhite

NOTE:  These offers are for the small ~6.5" tablets and 7" fire tablets, not the larger ones.

I use a Gemora which is around that size so if it can zoom a bit the size is fine

On the fire you can get most Android apps. The ones on the Amazon app store are easy, the others need work arounds. You can get a pdf onto any kindle using send to kindle or your kindle email address.

Am I correctly inferring that it is possible to download apps from Google play on a Kindle?

You can get the play store by rooting the fire, but it will void the warranty. You can get to the apk of downloaded appson a different device and email or dropbox them etc. then download them onto the fire and install.
