The color is amazing and at first it worked great but now even lreviously downloaded audible titles will not download to this device. My son is 6 and is justvstarting to read so the audiobooks were a must have with the kindle. I've been theiugh audible and amazon support with no resolution.

Hello KimG! Thank you for your feedback on the Amazon Kindle Colorsoft Kids. I'm sorry to hear about the frustrating issue with Audible titles not downloading, especially since audiobooks are essential for your 6-year-old son who is just starting to read. Here are troubleshooting steps that may help: ensure the device has the latest software updates under Settings > Device Options > System Updates, verify strong Wi-Fi connectivity, restart the Kindle by holding the power button for 40 seconds, check available storage space, sign out and back into your Amazon account, remove and re-add the problematic Audible titles, try a different Wi-Fi network, ensure your Audible subscription is active, check that Parental Controls aren't blocking content, and consider a factory reset through Settings > Device Options > Reset to Factory Defaults as a last resort. I hope that helps, have a great day!

Really liking the Kindle Colorsoft so far. It’s very lightweight, easy to handle, and perfect for kids. My son can comfortably hold it and read on his own. The colors make reading more engaging, and it feels sturdy too. A perfect gift for my son!

My daughter was gifted this on Christmas, and she is already on her 3rd book! Super light-weight, easy to use, and the battery life seems great. Highly recommend!

The Amazon Kindle Colorsoft Kids (16 GB) is an outstanding first Kindle for kids. The color display brings stories to life, making reading more engaging and fun, while the Fantasy River cover is beautiful and kid-friendly. It’s easy to use, durable, and perfect for encouraging a love of reading. Best Buy’s service was exceptional—courteous, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. From purchase to setup, the experience was smooth and stress-free. Highly recommended for kids and parents alike!

Bought this for my daughter age 10 to help with reading for school. LOVE the fact that it is in color and has a cover. Great size and seems to be pretty sturdy, which is critical with kids. My only issue with this (and all kindles) is the crazy convoluted system amazon uses to order and buy books. Why does it need to be so complicated?

I love it!!!!!! I would buy it again. It does not have the yellow shadow at the bottom that others have complained about. The colors remind me of old newspaper comics. The screen is easy on the eyes and it is so fast! I bought the kids version even though I’m an adult because I liked the case and it comes with the 2 yr warranty. Best Buy was fast and friendly. I bought it online and just picked it up in store. In and out in 5 minutes.

Beautiful kindle! We purchased this for our daughter’s Christmas gift and it was perfect! The color isn’t too bright but still very affective. The cover is even more beautiful in person!

Bought this as a Christmas Gift for my wife. It's basically the same unit as the non-kids version, but with a cool cover and a two year warranty. She loves it and uses it daily.

Pretty much a good reader, but you'll be stuck in the kindle atmosphere. There are a few workarounds to load your own books. Which i'm happy to do.. The only grape I have about this is why it didn't come with the same screen for the scribe.
