I would price the Kindle Fire and TV and see which would be the better deal. I do think that a TV would be better for the sewing room but I also have a Kindle Fire that I love but I do not watch movies on it. So I think that it comes down to what you would use the device for. I have my computer in the sewing room with a 17 inch monitor and I use it to stream shows via netflix. I also listen to books on tape via those little playalongs you can lend at a library.
