Is this the right part for this model?

I was given a Kindle Fire, functional but the glass is cracked. The person who gave it to me doesn't know what model it is, and I know next to nothing about Kindles. According to Settings->Device Model this is a "Fire (5th Generation)" but according to this web site -- https://www.epubor.com/how-to-tell-kindl... -- this is a "Fire HD 10 (5th Generation)" based on the fact that the serial number starts with GOOO (or G000).

Is a "Fire (5th Generation)" the same as a "Fire HD 10 (5th Generation)"?

Assuming "yes" to that, would this glass -- https://www.ebay.com/itm/122719924763 -- be the correct replacement for it?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Hi!

The Fire HD 10 (5th gen) is not the same as the Fire (5th gen), the main difference being the screen size. The Fire HD 10 has, as the name suggests, a 10 inch screen, while the Fire only has a 7" screen. The best way to tell them apart if you're unsure is to measure the screen size diagonally.

Also, as far as I know you can't replace just the glass because it's glued to the screen and because it's very hard to separate them (without breaking the screen) without professional tools.
