Beautiful Case and Perfect for Kids of All Ages!
My daughter had been expressing interest in reading, so I bought her the kids version of my kindle and she loves it! It came with 6 months of Amazon Kids for free, and that in itself made it worth the price I paid for it. The battery lasts forever, and it was sooo easy to set up. It only allows her to read books, so it doesn’t have any other distractions like a tablet would. Setting it up took no time at all. It was fast. It also downloads books really fast too. The backlight allows for her to read at night, and has been helping her fall asleep without her tv and that’s a big deal. It’s designed really nicely and the built in case protects the kindle perfectly from drops. I love the beautiful colors on the case.

Great kindle for kids
My daughter loved it! She’s a big reader and has the tendency to start a lot of books at once. This helps her keep track of all of them. She likes that it feels similar to the books she reads. She’s able to easily read her books and adjust the font or brightness on her own. Coming with the case is so great, because it reminds her to keep it covered to protect her screen. She is able to navigate the touch screen features easily and look up and download books with no problems. I’d highly recommend for someone who has a child that loves to read and move on to books quickly. This keeps her busy and helps her continue loving to read.

Great Gift
My daughter has wanted a kindle forever since I got one. She is a great reader so this seemed like a good idea. I like how easy this was to set up. We opened the box, turned it on, picked our language and were able to sync my account and she was reading within 5 minutes of me showing her how to use it. It seems identical to my own regular kindle and I like the no ads feature. She is 12 and we could have bought a regular one however this one blocks some of those more.. unsavory titles. I'm also able to send her books to her account which is great. She is able to request titles that aren't included with kindle unlimited and I as a parent can review it and either agree to purchase or reject it. Highly recommend it.

Perfect for young readers.
I have an avid reader who is 8, and she was constantly stealing my Kindle Colorsoft to use it on kids mode. I knew this would be a good purchase to gift her, and I was right! I was nervous she would complain about it being in black and white only, but she hasn’t said a word about it in the month she’s had it. She uses her Kindle almost daily. It’s quick to hook up to internet and download books, and it’s the perfect size for her. It’s super convenient for on the go too. I love the case, as it prevents so many scratches when it’s not in use. We did find a screen protector to fit as well. Battery life is decent for how much she uses it, and the contrast is just fine. It can be adjust as needed. It’s lightweight, durable, and super cute!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great Value and Perfect for Kids — A Few Minor Quirks but Still Excellent
The Amazon Kindle Kids (Space Whale edition) has been a fantastic purchase. The price alone makes it an easy choice — you get the device, a sturdy cover, ad‑free books, and the worry‑free replacement guarantee, which is huge when buying something for a kid. The glare‑free display is excellent, and the faster page turns are a nice upgrade. Downloading books is incredibly easy, and once you get the hang of the interface, it’s a very user‑friendly device. If I had to ding it for anything, the processing speed can feel a little slow at times. Not enough to make it unusable, but enough to notice and get mildly frustrated here and there. Still, it doesn’t take away from the overall experience. For the price, durability, and kid‑friendly features, this Kindle is a great value and a great way to encourage reading without the distractions of a tablet.

Worth the Investment!
Excellent purchase for my nine year old! This is the perfect sort of 'device time' to keep a mama happy, but the child, too!

Perfect for Kids Who Love Reading
This Kindle is great for young readers. The screen is glare-free, easy on the eyes, and the device is lightweight for small hands. The 16GB storage is plenty for books, and the battery lasts for weeks. I really like the included Kids+ subscription and the protective cover. The two-year worry-free guarantee is a big bonus for parents. If you want a distraction-free way to encourage reading, this is an excellent choice.
