If buying Android, I would only recommend one of the Nexus devices for the ongoing software support.

Any recommendations? Would a Kindle Fire meet my needs?
Kindle Fire will work in all those capacities except for "logging into my bank account". No problem if you use the web interface. You might find difficulties in obtaining bank-provided apps. Kindle Fire only uses
Amazon's app store, and not the de facto Google Play app store. Most companies only release their apps on Google Play and forget about the existence of third party app stores. While it is possible to install Google Play on a Kindle Fire (HD), it is a huge undertaking and only for technically inclined power users.
