The big selling point of the Paperwhite Kids model is the included Kindle Kids+ subscription, which lasts a year and gives access to a massive variety of kid-friendly reading material. The vast catalog of books makes it a good choice for youngsters who can’t decide what they want to read. Effective parental controls also help caretakers limit the available content to what’s appropriate for each child.
It’s getting warmer and warmer out there, summer is almost here, and, of course, children are getting out of school for their summer break. As a kid, I spent my summers reading (and playing video games). The summer is a great time to get lost in some heavy reading.
Well, if you’re looking for a fun way to keep your child reading this summer, Amazon has a fantastic but limited deal running on the Kindle Paperwhite Kids that’ll save you $40 off the retail price, bringing the $180 e-reader down to $140, packing all of the extras you would expect, like your choice of cover, a 2 year warranty, not to mention 6 months of Amazon Kids+ which includes a vast library of age-appropriate ad-free e-books. That’s a bargain and then some, a perfect setup that won’t require further purchases for six months, which will cover the summer easily.
What’s great about the Kindle Paperwhite Kids
A purpose-built device makes it easy to focus on one task
Let’s face it, tablets and phones are filled with distractions, from endless notifications to a plethora of apps to dip in and out of. This is why E Ink e-readers exist, they tend to offer a much more refined experience that focus on singular goals, like reading e-books and listening to Audiobooks. You can’t toss on Spotify, and there’s no way to doomscroll through social media. When you pick up a Kindle you know exactly what you’re going to use it for, and since this is a Kindle made specifically for kids, you even have plenty of parental controls at your disposal to ensure the experience is always age-appropriate.
What is really nice is that the device comes with a case, with your choice between Starfish and Cyber City (the Diary of a Wimpy Kid case is a little extra). The case will ensure drops and dings aren’t anything to worry about, adding a little insurance for the more rowdy children.
Ultimately, today’s limited time couldn’t have been timed better as summer break begins. This is the best price we’ve seen for the Kindle Paperwhite Kids, so make sure to act fast while supplies last.
