So if you are traveling and just want to carry one device to read and watch the occasional video on YouTube, the Kindle is not what you want. That means they are poor candidates for situations when you want one device to cater to a wider variety of your needs. You can’t watch videos, play games, or listen to music on a Kindle. They’re extremely limited in terms of functionality.

The Fire 7 has a USB-C port, a 3.5mm audio jack, and a microSD card. Both also don’t have waterproofing properties.
