But why go thru the hassle when you don't have to?
I bought my Kindle Fire for $30 from Woot.com which is owned by Amazon. It's like Amazon's bargain basement. It was advertised as refurbished but looked brand new. I did install Google Play. You only need to do this if you can't find an app on Amazon App Store. Here's a link that explains how to install Google Play:

Tom, now that you bring up Woot, I bought my HP Desktop PC from them to use in my office. Advertised as "refurbished" and when I got it, it was in an HP sealed factory box and had all the clingy static plastic on in and looked absolutely brand new. Have no idea what was "refurbished" about it.
Paid about $250 for it and it's been a great little computer for office apps and internet. I'd never buy a full-price computer again.
As to the tablet recommendation, don't forget to look at the Samsung Tab series (Android). Costco often has then for under $200. Mine's about 3 years old and works great.
