Kindle fire HD or nexus 7 (16GB)?

[Tyler...]

I'm thinking about saving up for either the fire HD 7" or the nexus 7, both are 199 , which one is better for me? I like games, mostly social networking (instagram, Facebook) and also web browsing, I have a ipod for music.

Also, does the amazon App Store (for kindle fire HD) does it have instagram? Thanks
Also, is the 16GB nexus 7 $199? Thanks

I would recommend the Nexus 7 tablet.

Because the Kindle Fire HD was made for reading books mostly. It is not a fully fledged android tablet. And you are limited to apps you can get because of the Amazon App Store.

The Google Nexus 7 is an all around great tablet. It is great for games, and runs them fast (It has a quad-core processor). Also it has the Google Play Store which has thousands of apps. Including Facebook, Instagram, and you can download many web browsers also. It has a wide variety of games.

Hope this helped
