    Kids approved: good size you can hold with 1 hand, long battery life had it for 2 weeks since release and haven’t charge yet, easy on the eyes like reading a physical book with option of dark mode at night, no distraction with other apps, you can borrow ebook from local library and send to kindle.

    Got this for my grandmother for christmas. She loved it. Honestly the only thing "kids" about this is the case. Interface is standard kindle UI. Honestly she loved the case since she's a beach nut lol. Great product!

    A great device for kids. This is a high quality kindle reader (black and white only) that has great looking text and smooth page turning. Pretty easy to setup, though the added steps of making an account for your kiddo were a bit cumbersome. Once that is done it works great, and comes with six months of kindle unlimited, which has a great selection of books for both kids and young adults. Got this for my 15 year old daughter and she loves it, though the cover is a bit cutesy for her.

    My daughter spends at least an hour every day reading new books, and between the ones included with Prime and the ones she has requested she has been able to cover a wide variety of titles. The device is quick, smooth, and after a brief learning curve logical and easy to use. Will definitely get another one.

    So easy to use and I can read outside with it, something I couldn't do before with my old android iPad. Reading is so much more enjoyable!

    The device is fine, Best Buy experience was fine. My only problem, there are ads. And Amazon wants to charge to remove them. You are better off paying more for an ad free kindle and letting your kid read on that.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
