When the fire tablets are on sale for $30 I buy a couple. Not much else you can buy for $30 that will give the wow factor. LOL Always remember to check the gift/unregistered status if buying for a gift. If not it may sync all your content to the new one if you have an account. Some I want the content separate like quilt books from novels It's easy to register to any account

The only time I watch u tube videos is when I'm in the house and not in my sewing room, and I don't watch but maybe one/two every so often, in my sewing room I don't have anything like a tv, radio, etc., I like quiet. LOL

Yesterday I ordered two Kindle HD 10 from Amazon for $70 each! We are a Kindle household. DH has an IPad but likes his Kindle Fire tablet better. I have several older ones for the grands to use when they are here. They watch movies and play games and sometimes even read a book on them. LOL
The Fire has external storage and a camera. I download videos and watch them if I'm somewhere with no wi fi.

I'm giggling about the OP--my hubs would be checking to see if I was ill if I had stuff other than crime shows on! Although I do watch DVR'd quilt shows, or try to, while at the long arm. Since I tend to get lost in time when I'm long arming and then can hardly haul myself up the stairs, I always turn the tv on there and usually watch NCIS or Law & order, but sometimes the quilt shows--problem is I can't really pay much attention while long arming so the crime shows basically just to help be gauge how long I've been working.

I'm the same about crime shows. My ex used to tell me I was learning how to knock him off. Lol. I don't have tv in my sewing room so I watch Prime video or Netflix show. I don't know why but I don't usually watch quilting or sewing shows on You Tube. I guess they are kinda distracting. I will listen to sewing/quilting podcasts sometimes though.

While sewing Friday, I was watching Triple Play videos on Missouri Star YouTube channel. I like to see how Jenny, Misty and Natalie start with the same pattern and make it their own. Usually Natalie's variation is my favorite.

I'm also a crime show watcher while I sew...it's something that can go in one ear and out the other for the most part. If I listened to "quilty" shows, I'd have to stop and actually watch what was going on and I think it would confuse me even more.

When I can't find anything I've recorded on TV I'll hit the Youtube on my TV and watch all my subscriptions in a relaxing recliner. Its nice to be able to see it on a big screen instead of my PC screen which isn't small by any means but just nice to see it bigger.

Sometimes I'll put on an old favorite movie while I sew because I can listen and tell what is going on without having to stop what I'm doing and watch. Usually, though, it's having Alexa shuffle a music playlist.
on the subject of Kindles, love 'em. I had 8-10 when I retired from teaching. (I'd buy 2-3 when on sale-about $40/each) Shared the extras with family, but kept 2 for myself. One is always charged. (I read at bedtime) My cousin was always on phone on Facebook, so she likes the larger screen of the Kindle.
