£1 for a two year warranty and from a better retailer. No brainer!

For info: Takes about 20 minutes of effort to download and install the apk's for Google Play Store, and I'd also highly recommend Nova Launcher instead of the default launcher (another 5 mins effort as you have to download another apk to override Amazon's lock on launchers).
Would've preferred the 16gb but it's all sold out so 8gb will suffice.
Does anyone know if the JL device is with or without special offers?

Anyone know what year this was released? I'm trying to get a kid friendly case and they all seem to refer to a 2015 (5th) edition but the reviews online were done in 2016?
For anyone interested in Google Play, etc. be careful about your version and do not update (I recommended avoiding wifi until you absolutely have to).
I was lucky that the last two tablets I picked up could be rooted via kingsroot but newer versions can be hit or miss from what I've heard and even then kingsroot is not something I'd like to keep installed and should be quickly replaced with supersu and the former removed.
I suggest checking the people over at XDA as that's where I got my information/rooting tools (I used the 'Amazon 5th Gen supertool).
If you want to update, I just used flashfire to install the update and supersu to retain root.
The 5th gen is the lastest version and it's from 2015 but revisions have been released for increased storage and colours AFAIK.
I have three in my house and they're fine for the basics at least.
