AmazonKindle Kids (newest gen) - If it breaks, we will replace it, includes age-appropriate books and cover, with glare-free display, faster page turns – 16 GB – Unicorn Valley

Bought this for my daughter for Christmas. She loves the included case, whose design is beautiful.The kindle itself downloads books easily when in range of the wifi and the size is perfect for putting in her handbag (she's been taking it everywhere!). She's almost 10 and has picked it up easily enough and her younger sister (7) can use it too. We haven't charged the battery yet and she started using it straight out of the box, so battery life seems good. It's lightweight so doesn't weigh down your hands, similar to weight of a smartphone. It comes with Amazon kids included for a period of time, which has meant she can download lots of books without me having to pay for any so far (she reads avidly). All in all a good little e-reader.

The Amazon Kindle for Kids is hands down my best buy of the year! My children absolutely love it. They can take it anywhere—car journeys, holidays, even just out in the garden—and read comfortably without carrying heavy books around.The screen is clear and easy on the eyes, and I don’t have to worry about distractions since it’s made just for reading. The battery lasts for days, which is a huge bonus, and the free access to a huge library of books keeps them happily entertained and learning.I ended up buying a second one because they were both so into it—no more fighting over who gets to read next! It’s such a great way to encourage a love of reading. Highly recommended for any parent!

The latest datela on children's reading is that they are reading less than before. As a teacher phonics is a challenge and motivating a child to read a book, not necessarily of their choosing is hard. My son has ADHD and his school reading scheme is archaic. They have to read the Oxford reading tree levels which are old and boring. I had to purchase our own books of his interest level within the Oxford tree just to get him to read. Luckily he is finally a free reader. So as a gift I purchased him the kindle. He is reading every night, by choice before bedtime. The batter with persistent use has last a week from initial charge. He can adjust the size of the font, screen light all by himself and he can download books of interest to him.My only complaint is the limitation of books available under the kindle kids membership. Some well known books are not available and the kindle isn't sorted to have age-related books to his age. His home page (for a 9 year old) has Blippy and Bing Bunny. The kindle does not have the 'How to Train your Dragon' collection which is going to be a major motion picture and has limited new writers. Not all children love Harry Potter.The bonus, I can share my books with his kindle.

I was a skeptic for decades. “I prefer to have actual books” was the phrase I used before buying this. And also “I can read on my tablet or phone” whoa was I wrong!I have finished a book on average a week compared to my previous kindle-free life. I now see others with their kindles and understand why it’s popular. Great for encouraging reading and still feeling like screen time for young ones, and so easy to use.

Absolutely loved by my granddaughter. Parental control easy to use and her love of reading has gone off the scale.

Very good, a bit smaller than I expected but it is actually perfect for my child. They are now reading more than ever which is lovely to see.Amazon Kids+ is a nice addition, but it does have a limited selection of books with quite a few titles available at extra cost.Still, my child is happy, the battery seems to be lasting a long time. The display itself is very clear and easy to use and it is responsive to the touch.The case is good quality too, which is an added bonus.

This has been a life changer...small & bright, easy to read & turn pages. Easy to navigate. No ads as for Kids. Attractive cover, even though aimed at Kids. Easy to hold comfortably in one hand in bed. Battery lasts a long time, easy to charge, sleeps when one shuts flap.Excellent!

Do not waste your money on this product. You can't sideload books onto a kid's profile. So the only books they can read are ones bought from Amazon or available on the Amazon kids subscription.That means you are paying a premium just to have a nice cover and a less functional product. Buy a cheaper standard kindle, buy a colourful cover on eBay, turn off cloud access, and voila you have a cheaper more functional product you can give your kid.
