A device to establish,
healthy reading habits
When a child sits down with their Kindle, they read on average more than an hour a day. Kindle Paperwhite Kids is designed just for reading, which means no distractions from apps, videos, or games.
The bundle includes 1 year of Amazon Kids+ (auto-renews after 1 year), a kid-friendly cover, and a 2-year worry-free guarantee—up to a $249 value.
A library full of kid-friendly content
Every Kindle Paperwhite Kids comes with 1 year of Amazon Kids+, an auto-renewing subscription with access to thousands of books. From timeless classics like Bridge to Terabithia, to popular series like Harry Potter and Ramona Quimby, Kindle Paperwhite Kids has the books that will inspire a love of reading. Learn how to add additional books to your child's profile.
Waterproof and worry-free
Kindle Paperwhite Kids is waterproof (IPX8-rated) and has been lab-tested to protect against accidental immersion in up to two meters of fresh water for up to 60 minutes and 0.25 meters for 3 minutes in seawater. Learn more about waterproof features.
And, with the 2-year worry-free guarantee, if it breaks, return it and we’ll replace it for free. Find out more.
We’ve also included a cover made to last, with magnets that close the cover securely and a durable exterior that protects it from scratches. Just like a book, it opens and closes to wake the Kindle Paperwhite Kids or put it to sleep, and is available in a range of kid-friendly designs.
Kid tested, parent approved
Set educational goals and manage content with easy-to-use parental controls. With Parent Dashboard, you can adjust age filters, add books to your child's library, view reading progress, and more. And because Kindle Paperwhite Kids is designed only for reading, in Amazon Kids, kids don’t have access to the Internet or social media. Kindle Paperwhite Kids even offers OpenDyslexic, a font preferred by some readers with dyslexia.

Great little Kindle
Great kindle for the price! I’ve never had a kindle before even though I am an ebook reader and have had a ereader in the past, I had the first gen Nook. I decided that it was finally time to get an E-Ink reader to help my eyes and that the convenience of carrying something light portable and simplistic around was a must. So far I love it! And have fully convert from a Nook reader to a Kindle reader, if only kindle unlimited wasn’t so expensive 🥹. It’s easy to set up and connect your account. I made some screen savers as you can see and they work great. I did have a small glitch were my screen would freeze or move really slow so I put it to sleep and then reset it. Hopefully that was only a one time thing. For now it’s 5 star if I continue to have glitches or issues the rating will goDown. I’m a little worried about the battery. It’s advertised as lasting for up to 10weeks but mine only lasts about two weeks max. I do read a lot, about 4-5hours a day, so I’m not sure if that’s normal or not for the amount of time I use it. I guess I’ll need to experiment a bit with usage time and things.It loads library books easy and everything is easy to understand and use.The size is great and the screen is clear. I added a case, stickers, popsocket, screen protector, and other small accessories to make it easier! I recommend getting kindle and the case it came with is now my cute travel case!
