Device is perfect for my needs.
Love the device! Perfect size for me. Unfortunately the cover is peeling like other reviews mentioned. I'm really sad about this as the cover is really cute and I loved the space whale. Don't get too attached to the cover design and plan to buy another, otherwise I'd give it 5 stars.

I stumbled upon a fantastic deal with the Kindle Kids 2022, and it has truly exceeded my expectations. Not only does it come with a protective case for those inevitable kid-induced mishaps, but the inclusion of a Kindle Kids subscription is a game-changer.

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.

This is the best kindle to buy in 2023. I watched a lot of reviews and the kindle kids 11th gen (this one) is the best for your buck. Amazon Kids gives you access to multiple books and it’s free for the first year, it also comes with no ads (only on Amazon Kids mode though). It also has a 2 year warranty included. It’s very light weight and comfortable to use. I’ve had mine for a week now and I only needed to charge it twice (it says weeks but in reality if you read longer than an hour a day, it’ll last about a week). I love how the features of this is essentially the same as the paper white. The only difference is there’s no auto adjust for lighting and there isn’t a warm light setting but I personally don’t like warm light so it doesn’t bother me. I read a lot faster with this and I love it so much. This kindle turned me back into a bookworm. 10/10 would recommend.

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.

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!
