I love this kindle

Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2024

It is small and perfect for smaller hands. The screen is great with accessibility features. For the cost being able to download thousands of books is amazing.

Great e-reader, hobbled by simple software choice

Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2024

Pros:
- Hardware is great and is everything you'd expect from a Kindle.
- Backlight is very nice
- Touch screen is surprisingly responsive
- Wi-Fi works well

Cons:
My only complaint has to do with profile switching. We bought this to share among our children to squeeze in some reading while they're in the car, and they can't switch users on their own - I have to be the one to do it. The only way to change between profiles is to follow these steps:
1. Be on Wi-Fi. You can't switch profiles if you're not on Wi-Fi.
2. Have the child hand the kindle to you
3. Swipe down, exit Amazon Kids
4. Enter PIN number
5. Hit the menu button, pick "Amazon Kids"
6. Select the new child's profile to start reading.

(I just got done with a support chat and confirmed that this is the case.)

The only way this is useful in the way I'd like to use it is if I just have them all use one profile and just tell them not to read each other's books until the first person is done. I'm sure Amazon would be happy for me to purchase additional devices, but I'm not willing to do that at this price point.

Kids Kindle!

Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2024

I’m an avid reader and was finally ready to purchase my first kindle. After much research I found that the kids kindle was the same as a paperwhite but with more value! It comes with a case, has a 2 year warranty (1 more than the regular paperwhite), and you can turn off the child account to use as a regular kindle.

As a my first e-reader I absolutely love it and highly recommend!

Worth it for an adult!

Honestly I bought this kids kindle for myself during prime day and it was a little cheaper and so worth it. Only thing is when you go to your adult profile you have to pay to have the ads taken off but it’s a one time fee of $20. Not bad. I also didn’t mind walking around reading with my kids cover it came with! Good price, free cover. who can complain? I love my kindle!

I’m an adult and I love it!

Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2024

I should say I’m a clumsy adult which is why I bought the kids version. I wanted the better warranty and a lot of my favorite books are young adult so it was a win win. Loved the case and the kindle is super easy to use. My only complaint is you can’t set the Lock Screen to display the cover of your book instead of an ad like you can do with the normal kindle, and I can’t understand why? That’s a perfectly child acceptable thing to do and I’d much rather have any kids of mine looking at the cover of their book instead of weird ads for stories with AI generated covers. I would honestly prefer anything else on the screen at all. I absolutely hate AI imagery. If that tiny detail is important to you, you should buy an adult kindle (I recommend the 50$ from 2018, my friend LOVES it and it’s definitely worth every penny)

Daughter LOVES it!

My daughter just got into reading and since we got it end of January and has read 9 kids books! She loves being able to highlight and mark her favorite lines from Sherlock Holmes and its easy to find. The only down part for us is finding the right charger. It is a C and everything of ours is older iphone chargers. But other than that it is an amazing product that has encouraged a new reader to fall in love with books and their characters!

I love kindles but newest one has annoying flaw

Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2024

Color: Unicorn ValleyVerified Purchase

This is my 4th kindle purchased and was bought for my 7 year old daughter. Her older sister has had one for several years and it has been great! However we quickly learned that the newest kids kindle has a fatally annoying flaw - it relentlessly prompts my child to connect to the internet. I intentionally turn off WiFi or set it on airplane mode because she’s young and I don’t want her freely accessing whatever books she can find. Apparently Amazon doesn’t like this approach because literally EVERY TIME she navigates between screens she is asked if she wants to turn off airplane mode. The kindles we have from 3 years ago do not do this. Please Amazon, release an update and fix this! If I don’t want my kindle to stay online I should be able to do that without constantly asked if I want to reconnect.

Edit: I did chat with customer service and they were somehow able to get the WiFi prompts to stop so it is possible and makes her kindle much more pleasant to use now!

Convenient Way to Read

Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2024

Color: Ocean ExplorerVerified Purchase

I've been hesistant to buy a kindle. I always thought . . . why would I need another electronic device because I can read on my phone or my iPad or my laptop. I found myself still wanting to read the "hard copy" version of the book at least some of the time. I also lugged around the books my kids were reading too. One of my family members kept sharing that reading on a kindle is really similar to reading a "hard copy" of the book. So, I decided to try the Kindle.

It is like reading a real book. I can easily put it in my purse or carry-on. It cuts down on the number of books that I am lugging around. When reading texts with my kids, I love that it highlights passages that many others have highlighted. I like that you can add notes or look up definitions. My daughter has dyslexia and she has shared that it really helps to change the font into the dyslexia font for all her books.

The reason I am giving the kindle 4 rather than 5 stars is because the battery lif is not as long as other reviews or what I expected. I need to charge our Kindle every 4-5 days. I wish the battery were at least long enough to get me through a week long family vacation. Either way, battery last 4-5 days is pretty good and I'd definitely reccommend the Kindle.
