More reading, no distractions
Unlike tablets, Kindle is designed just for reading, which means kids can lose themselves in a good book rather than get distracted by videos or games.
Latest generation Kindle
The latest Kindle without sponsored screensavers has a touchscreen display and reads like paper—no annoying glare, even in bright sunlight.
Lighten already heavy backpacks
Kindle holds thousands of books, so kids will never have to leave their favorite titles behind
Tackle more challenging books
Features like Word Wise and Vocabulary Builder support real-time vocabulary development, increasing their confidence and motivation to read. Plus, by easily increasing the font size, kids can read larger, more difficult books.
Leave the cord at home
A single battery charge lasts weeks, not hours, so there’s one less thing for kids to have to remember.
Designed with kids in mind
Kids can read books in a simple, fun, and safe environment designed specifically for them with Kindle FreeTime. Younger kids can search before they know how to type by using Characters—for example, tap on images for “Princesses,” “Dinosaurs,” or “Cars.”
Track achievements
With Kindle FreeTime, children can view their reading progress for each book, track reading accomplishments for each day, and earn achievement badges for reaching milestones.
Best-in-class parental controls
Parents can have peace of mind that kids won’t access inappropriate content or websites, or accidentally make purchases as Kindle FreeTime blocks access to browsing and purchasing in the Kindle Store, access to the Internet, access to Wikipedia, and disables social sharing.
Choose age-approved content
Parents can choose specific books for children in Kindle FreeTime from their existing Kindle library or by purchasing new e-books from the Kindle Store. Selections can be updated at any time and books shared in Kindle FreeTime will be available in the child’s profile on Kindle.
Vocabulary Builder
When kids look up words on Kindle, they are automatically added to the Vocabulary Builder on their device. With Vocabulary Builder, they can use flashcards to learn the definitions and usage of words.
Built-In Dictionary
Kindle comes with a built-in New Oxford American Dictionary so kids can easily access definitions without leaving the page.

Word Wise
With Word Wise, available on many English language titles, short and simple definitions automatically appear above difficult words so kids can keep reading with fewer interruptions. Tap on a word to bring up a simple card with definitions, synonyms, and more. The number of hints can be adjusted with a simple slider.

Drop it? Spill on it? No worries.
We all know accidents happen. Your Kindle is covered from day one by a 2-year extended warranty provided by SquareTrade for damage caused by common accidents, including knocking it off a table, dropping it in water, or your dog chewing on it. It also covers your Kindle against electrical and mechanical breakdowns.
