Samsung or kindle fire

I know there have been loads of threads on here asking which tablet but this is slightly different.The wife has a an old kindle which she uses a lot and she has a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 phone which she enjoys playing games on. It's her birthday soon and Im trying to decide wether to buy her a kindle fire or a samsung tab 3 which is released in a couple of weeks for £179 for the 7' version. opinions welcome please.

    Kindle Fire is restricted in the apps it has as it connects to the Amazon apps store not Google Play.

    Samsung apps and games store is not available as Nexus is not Samsung . Google Play may not have all of them availablebut probably most .

    No contest. It's the Samsung all the way it's far far more versatile than the highly restricted Kindle Fire.
  • Or the new tesco tablet, if it runs stock android
