Amazon Kindle 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

Loving this so far! I've got the Kindle Kids with the intention of using it myself as I heard it was smaller and I absolutely loved the unicorn case! So far I can only see advantages to it. It's easy to use, the books I have as an adult are also available in my Kindle Kids library. I'm very happy with my purchase so far, I kept all Kids features as I don't see them as a disadvantage since I can access my entire Kindle library anyway! The touch screen is fast and responsive, the download speed is decent, it's small and weighs very little, has a premium feel, which makes me come back to Kindle after having used other e-readers in the past. The best part is that is that you get the best value for money with the Kindle kids as you could at any point lend it or even gifting it to a kid(just get the parental controls on!). The instructions are crystal clear and the whole set up took less than 5 minutes! The clarity of the writing is fantastic from my point of view. The only thing I'd change: I'd add a warmer light for bedtime reading, but that's available on the Kindle Paper white, so maybe it's a bit much to ask on a budge device.

My son wanted one for so long and we got him this kindle. It has good storage, brightness and connects well to the internet. The book quality is good and it is a good size for children. The designs are an added extra which I think is a lovely touch.

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.

So the kindle itself is excellent, the usual quality you come to expect from this product. The case and colour way is just lovely. The only thing that was a pain was trying to join this up to my Amazon account and take advantage of the kindle unlimited offer (3 months for 99p) this took ages and wasn’t really clear on the most efficient way to set this up! Other than that I’ve got a very happy child!

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.

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 GOOD- It's easy on the eyes. I tested with it slow motion video and 1/4000s shutter speed camera, with no visible banding, so I'm fairly confident declaring that the frontlight is PWM free, and just uses DC dimming, which is great. The BAD- 1) The Kindle Kids home screen does not have a Library button. It has a Recents button there instead, which is terrible UX, and I hate it. When switching to an Adult account, the button returns to a Library button. But there doesn't appear to be a way to see your Library when using the Kids account. 2) I have a significant number of books purchased on a foreign amazon account (same email address), but there is no way to see them on this UK kindle alongside my UK library. The only way to get them to show up at all is to set a different password on the other Amazon account, and then deregister is from my UK account, and then sign in with the foreign Amazon account. But then I lose access to my UK library. I don't understand why these two problems exist. This is a matter of bad design choice by Amazon.

Quality product that came with a case.it was a no brainer for me. It's a good size which makes it easy to hold in hand. Set-up was bit tricky for me as I've bought it for myself to read and not for a kid so to remove kids setup was super annoying.
