  • My daughter reads way more with this Kindle!
Color: Starfish
My daughter loves this Kindle. Here are a few of the features we are enjoying: Amazon Kids: It was very easy to sign into her already existing Amazon Kids account. There was an offer that came with the purchase for a free subscription to Amazon Kids for x amount of time, which was nice, but it was not clear if that will be applied to our existing account that we pay for. The setup was very minimal and the parental controls can be managed from the parents phone. We chose not to put time limits on her Kindle because the lighting on the screen is like reading a book and I want to encourage her to read as much as she wants. Screen Quality: There is no glare on the screen and the lighting can adjust if you move from a dark room to a lighter room or outside. She also loves that there is a dark mode option so she can read at night without lights on and it does not hurt her eyes. Case: The Kids version of this kindle comes with a case. She chose the starfish option. The case is very colorful and she really enjoys the picture on it. I believe this case will protect the kindle adequately. She has dropped it/had some accidents with it and there has been no damage to the kindle. She was a little bummed that the case did not have a feature to stand it up without holding the Kindle, but she has adjusted to holding it or leaning it against things, so I would say over all it is a good case. Using the Kindle: For the most part the kindle works great! It is very easy to use. She is able to search for any book she can think of and find it. Most of the books she searches are already included in the subscription. The books that are not included seem to be a reasonable price. There has only been one book that she tried to search that we were not able to find. We have had the kindle for about a month and there have been two times that it froze and needed to be restarted, but works fine after the restart, so it has not been an issue. The settings are very easy to get into by clicking the top of the screen and they are user friendly/intuitive. Her books seem to download quickly and they will open immediately after downloading. The battery lasts forever on this thing. She uses it all the time and she just charged it for the second time after a month of having it. I would recommend using the charger that came with the Kindle. I'm not sure what is different about our phone chargers, but they do not work for it. It might be because they are super fast chargers and maybe the kindle can't have that? Not sure... Other: I really feel that this is a great product for getting kids to read more. My daughter has been reading everyday since this was delivered. She has always enjoyed reading, but the amount of time she spends reading has significantly increased! Also, I really enjoy that this is the exact same as my adult Kindle, so I know how to use it! ... show more

  • A Game-Changer for Young Readers!
Color: Cyber City
I recently purchased the Kindle Paperwhite Kids for my 9-year-old, and it’s been an absolute delight! The 7-inch glare-free display is perfect for reading both indoors and outdoors, and the adjustable warm light ensures comfortable reading at night. The device is waterproof, which is a fantastic feature for kids who love to read by the pool or at the beach. With a battery life that lasts up to 12 weeks, it’s incredibly convenient for long trips without worrying about charging. The included 6-month Amazon Kids+ subscription provides access to a vast library of age-appropriate books and audiobooks, fostering a love for reading. The parental controls are intuitive, allowing me to monitor reading progress, set age filters, and even establish bedtimes through the Parent Dashboard. One of the standout features is the 2-year worry-free guarantee—if the device breaks, Amazon replaces it, no questions asked. The kid-friendly case is both durable and appealing, adding an extra layer of protection. ... show more

  • Best gift… ever!
Color: Cyber City
“Best. Gift. Ever!!!” Hi! I’m 7 years old, and I LOVE my new Kindle Paperwhite Kids! It’s like having a whole library in my hands, but way lighter than carrying all my books (which my mom says is a good thing because my backpack is already super full). Why It’s Awesome: ✔ So Many Books! – It comes with a huge library, and my kids get to pick any book they want. They never run out of stories to read! ✔ No Glare, No Problem! – I can read outside, in the car, or under my blanket with a flashlight. The screen looks just like a real book! ✔ Super Easy to Hold – It’s not heavy, and my hands don’t get tired, even when I read a LOT! ✔ No Distractions! – No games, no videos—just books! ✔ Waterproof! – My son feels like a real reader with his Kindle Paperwhite Kids. It’s his favorite thing to bring on car trips, and loves it for reading before bed now! If you love books, you NEED this!! The quality and price you cannot beat! The cover it came with was the perfect color scheme for him and he truly loves having it wherever we go! ... show more

  • Love the paperwhite and so does my daughter!
Color: Cyber City
Bought this for my daughter for Christmas. I love the kindle paperwhite, but right after she received this, my own paperwhite will not turn on for the life of it. That disappoints me because my old kindles lasted forever. So, I’ve basically just stolen this one until I can purchase another for myself. The color/brightness on this is phenomenal. The case is cute and stays on well. It could definitely be improved with a handle, so I feel like I’ll end up upgrading to my daughter in the future. Very sturdy, but not too heavy. Speed and touch accuracy are great. ... show more

  • Incredible!
Color: Cyber City
I LOVE THIS. Everything works insane. I am fourteen and think this is great, not only for young kids, but also for teens! There are plenty of book options with the Amazon Kids subscription, and the two year warranty gives my heart peace! The features like highlighting, taking notes, looking up words, having a vocabulary list, and the search bar make this thing so awesome! I would definitely recommend this to any big readers who want a better and more efficient way to read! The size is perfect, not too big, not too small. ... show more

  • Cover not really rugged, surprise subscription, but otherwise typical excellent Paperwhite Cover not really rugged, surprise subscription, but otherwise typical excellent Paperwhite
Color: Cyber City
I’m an avid reader and always looking for a bargain, so when my old Paperwhite needed to be replaced and I learned that Kindle for Kids was cheaper than the regular Paperwhite and comes with a more rugged cover, I was immediately interested. My local library has a better selection of ebooks the books I want to read than Kindle Unlimited, so buying a Kindle for Kids seemed like a no brainer BIG MISTAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn’t learn about the biggest mistake until I started writing this review and discovered that for the last four months, Amazon’s been billing me $5.99/month for a Kindle for Kids subscription that I didn’t know about and don’t want. It started five months after I bought it, but I didn’t notice it until today. I’m not happy about it. Immediately after bing it, I realized a problem with the more rugged cover. It’s significantly larger and thicker than the regular Kindle. I was able to carry my old Paperwhite in either a front or rear pocket of my Levi jeans. Not being able to just stick the Kindle for Kids in a pocket wasn’t a huge problem, but it was a significant inconvenience. A bigger problem with the cover is developing now. I’ve uploaded a photo. I’ve owned the Kindle for Kids for only nine months, but the cover is breaking down along the spine. I don’t think it will fall apart, but the science fiction illustration on it is peeling off. The cover that once looked so nice is now beginning to look pretty bad. Kindles are still excellent readers, but for someone who reads as much as I do, the cover is just not rugged enough. In the future I’ll stick to the adult Kindle ... show more

  • Great for kids and works seamlessly with the Amazon ecosystem
Color: Starfish
We got the Kids Kindle for our child and it’s been a fantastic purchase. It works really well with our existing Amazon parent account, and managing it through the Kids+ and Alexa ecosystem makes everything so easy. I can set limits, approve books, and even sync it with other devices in the house — all from my account. The Kindle itself is lightweight, easy for kids to hold, and the battery lasts forever. Plus, having it integrated into the Amazon ecosystem means we can also tie it into our Alexa routines and use parental controls without any extra apps or hassle. If you already use Alexa or other Amazon products at home, this is a no-brainer. The ecosystem just works — and the kids love it. Highly recommend! ... show more

  • Phenomenal
Color: Starfish
I bought this kindle for myself because of all of the benefits that come with the kids edition, and I'm very happy with it. It comes with a 2 year warranty, a 6 month kindle kids that I will be using on my other Kindles and a 1 months audible subscription. Plus it comes with a case! I absolutely adore the case and will be continuing to use this specific case until it wears out. Highly. Functional, the size is great for someone with bad eye sight. The design is crisp and smooth. It feels so light. I can customize the font size, and the boldness of my letters. My readability experience is phenomenal. 10/10 I highly recommend this kindle over the regular Paperwhite. ... show more
