The screen time battle is never-ending, but there’s one screen that’s much less deserving of time limits. While kids can get glued to the screen watching shows or playing games, one particular screen is the gateway into the imaginative and educational world of books. And thanks to Amazon’s sale price, you can gift it this holiday season for less.
As of Dec. 10, the Amazon Kindle Kids is on sale for $109.99 at Amazon, down from the list price of $129.99. That’s a savings of $20 and a $15 discount.
Like the awesome Amazon Kindle, the kids’ version brings a glare-free reading experience to younger people. With 16GB of storage, kids will be able to download their favorite books for reading at home during quiet times or to stay entertained while traveling. For parents or grandparents looking to cut down on screen time with kids, rest assured the Amazon Kindle Kids has no apps, videos, or games — nothing but books on this device.
Amazon gives each device six months of free access to Amazon Kids+ which means kids have access to thousands of digital books, arranged into age-appropriate categories. These include chapter books and graphic novels, designed for use by kids between the ages of 3 and 12.
The Kindle Kids screen measures six inches and it’s just as bright as the Kindle Paperwhite, our favorite version of the device for adult readers. Plus, the Kindle Kids can get up to six weeks of battery life before it’ll need recharging. The Kindle Kids comes with an included kid-friendly cover including Space Whale, Ocean Explorer, and Unicorn Valley.
In addition to coming with free access to Amazon Kids+, the Kindle comes with another major benefit — an awesome warranty. Like many Amazon devices designed for kids, the Kindle Kids comes with the two-year worry-free guarantee. This states that should the Kindle Kids break within the first two years of ownership, Amazon will replace it for free.
What’s more, the Parent Dashboard on the Kindle Kids allows parents to add books from their own accounts into the Kindle Kids’ library. Parents can also view reading progress, filter books based on age, and even set a bedtime.

While many books are educational on their own, the Kindle Kids includes Vocabular Builder and Word Wise to help build reading skills. Those with dyslexia might prefer to read with OpenDyslexic, a font that some readers find easier.
