A Game-Changer for Young Readers!
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.

For the young avid readers, a must have!
Setup, was easy out the box. The color of the kindle protector was as described. The Use by both a 9 year old and 7 year old was simple. They are enjoying the paperwhite e-reader. The access to the kindle library for books is definitely an add for all those who want to reduce the weight of carrying a dozen books in a road trip. You can adjust the font size for larger or smaller for the little one’s eyes. My 9 year old has already read 3 books, finished one in under a day. If you have avid readers and want to reduce the pocket damage this is the way to go! 7 year old has already moved up a whole level in reading because he is enjoying the ease of finding the right book for him in the digital library.

Light and easy to read
This is super amazing. I can’t believe I waited so long to get kindle. My son reads a lot and we borrow about 30 books every month. Kindle saves my time traveling back and forth to the library. Now I get a free Subscription for Amazon kids plus free digital borrow from the library! I worry about his eyes in the beginning so I hesitated. Don’t worry. The font is adjustable so it is eaiser to read than books! 7inch is perfect. I had to return the 6 inch one because it’s a bit small!Overall, get it if you love to read!

One of my favorite products
Love it, easier to read than an iPad, sideloading books is easy with Calibre. Price with promotions is very good, Amazon subsidized price is unbeatable and makes it an easy pick over more expensive options with the same e-ink panel. Battery life is insane, can go weeks and weeks without charging. Kids version case is nice, bought as an adult just for that, but it has AI art on it which was a letdown. Probably just buy the normal version next time. Wish there was more color options but that’s minor. Overall easy recommend.

Regret ‘upgrade’ – Minor annoyance on otherwise good Tech
E-ink readers are lovely. I traded in an older Paperwhite for this one, mostly looking forward to the increased splash protection for pool side reading. In general, it has all the same great features as older generations. My biggest disappointment is that you need to swipe every time to resume reading your book. Older kindles, whenever you opened the cover, it would automatically return you to your book. Now, with or without ads, you have to swipe to access your book. It definitely is an annoyance when you are having to put your book down and pick it back up several times in a sitting. If you are settled for an extended time, it is a minor inconvenience.The splash protection is nice, but I would have to recommend grabbing an older version if you are more likely to appreciate the immediate readability more.

My daughter loved it.
Great battery life and value for both the kindle and case. Didn’t have to worry about ordering the wrong size case to fit the kindle. Came ready to go in “kid mode” and super easy to set up. My daughter has taken it everywhere we’ve went in the car, reading in the yard, the park, etc. Perfect for reading on the go. Case was exactly as shown.

Perfect for kids reading
Fun Kindle for my daughter. She is in second grade and really starting to read on her own this year. She likes that she can borrow books from the library as soon as she finishes a book without waiting to go to the library. The parental controls help to make sure she doesn’t stay up too late at night reading. With physical books, she easilyloses track of time and will stay up way past her bed time reading too finish a book.

Great gift for a young reader
Got this for my 8 year old for his birthday. He loves it. It’s easy for him to use, the lighting is perfect and friendly for the eyes. It’s a great size, glad I went with the bigger one. It’s easy for him to navigate and figure out.

Great but can be a pain adding non kids content. My 12 year old son loves Mangas. I wish he could download them directly. They need to make an option to allow older kids to buy and download content or download content you purchase for them.Fantastic battery life

Great for encouraging reading, but not all books are free
I bought this Kindle for my daughter’s 10th birthday, and she absolutely loves it! She spends a lot more time reading。 The Kindle is lightweight, easy to use。We have 6 month free trial of Amazon Kids+, which gives access to a large library of books. However, I was a bit disappointed to find that some of the books she really wanted still had to be purchased separately.Overall, it’s a great device for young readers—just be prepared for some extra costs on top of the subscription.

E-ink readers are lovely. I traded in an older Paperwhite for this one, mostly looking forward to the increased splash protection for pool side reading. In general, it has all the same great features as older generations. My biggest disappointment is that you need to swipe every time to resume reading your book. Older kindles, whenever you opened the cover, it would automatically return you to your book. Now, with or without ads, you have to swipe to access your book. It definitely is an annoyance when you are having to put your book down and pick it back up several times in a sitting. If you are settled for an extended time, it is a minor inconvenience.The splash protection is nice, but I would have to recommend grabbing an older version if you are more likely to appreciate the immediate readability more.

My daughter loved it.
Great battery life and value for both the kindle and case. Didn’t have to worry about ordering the wrong size case to fit the kindle. Came ready to go in “kid mode” and super easy to set up. My daughter has taken it everywhere we’ve went in the car, reading in the yard, the park, etc. Perfect for reading on the go. Case was exactly as shown.

Perfect for kids reading
Fun Kindle for my daughter. She is in second grade and really starting to read on her own this year. She likes that she can borrow books from the library as soon as she finishes a book without waiting to go to the library. The parental controls help to make sure she doesn’t stay up too late at night reading. With physical books, she easilyloses track of time and will stay up way past her bed time reading too finish a book.

Great gift for a young reader
Got this for my 8 year old for his birthday. He loves it. It’s easy for him to use, the lighting is perfect and friendly for the eyes. It’s a great size, glad I went with the bigger one. It’s easy for him to navigate and figure out.

Good overal not quite preteen friendly
Great but can be a pain adding non kids content. My 12 year old son loves Mangas. I wish he could download them directly. They need to make an option to allow older kids to buy and download content or download content you purchase for them.Fantastic battery life

Great for encouraging reading, but not all books are free
I bought this Kindle for my daughter’s 10th birthday, and she absolutely loves it! She spends a lot more time reading。 The Kindle is lightweight, easy to use。We have 6 month free trial of Amazon Kids+, which gives access to a large library of books. However, I was a bit disappointed to find that some of the books she really wanted still had to be purchased separately.Overall, it’s a great device for young readers—just be prepared for some extra costs on top of the subscription.

A Game-Changer for Young Readers!
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.

For the young avid readers, a must have!
Setup, was easy out the box. The color of the kindle protector was as described. The Use by both a 9 year old and 7 year old was simple. They are enjoying the paperwhite e-reader. The access to the kindle library for books is definitely an add for all those who want to reduce the weight of carrying a dozen books in a road trip. You can adjust the font size for larger or smaller for the little one’s eyes. My 9 year old has already read 3 books, finished one in under a day. If you have avid readers and want to reduce the pocket damage this is the way to go! 7 year old has already moved up a whole level in reading because he is enjoying the ease of finding the right book for him in the digital library.

Light and easy to read
This is super amazing. I can’t believe I waited so long to get kindle. My son reads a lot and we borrow about 30 books every month. Kindle saves my time traveling back and forth to the library. Now I get a free Subscription for Amazon kids plus free digital borrow from the library! I worry about his eyes in the beginning so I hesitated. Don’t worry. The font is adjustable so it is eaiser to read than books! 7inch is perfect. I had to return the 6 inch one because it’s a bit small!Overall, get it if you love to read!

One of my favorite products
Love it, easier to read than an iPad, sideloading books is easy with Calibre. Price with promotions is very good, Amazon subsidized price is unbeatable and makes it an easy pick over more expensive options with the same e-ink panel. Battery life is insane, can go weeks and weeks without charging. Kids version case is nice, bought as an adult just for that, but it has AI art on it which was a letdown. Probably just buy the normal version next time. Wish there was more color options but that’s minor. Overall easy recommend.
