Although I purchased the Kindle for me, I've been using the one year Amazon kids subscription that comes with it to read books for my girls. We are loving this reading time. Another plus is the 2 years warranty for free that the regular version doesn't have. The case included is cute, but in less than a month it started peeling. Good thing is that Amazon has an amazing costumer service.
Having kids, I recommend buying this version for yourself because of all the perks that comes for just $20 extra bucks
The subscription not only safeguards my wallet from accidental book purchases but also empowers me to set limits on the types of books my kids can access. This balance of freedom and control fosters a love for reading, a vital life skill. Previously, we were frequent visitors to the library, but now, with easy access through the Kindle, we only go for community events, still supporting the library digitally.
What sets this Kindle apart is its dedicated focus on reading. Unlike other tablets that require constant monitoring, this device ensures that kids are engaged in the enriching world of books. Every child deserves a Kindle Kids—it’s a fabulous product that has transformed our reading habits and positively impacted our family.
