Kindle Paperwhite Kids (2024)
The Kindle Paperwhite Kids offers an experience tailored for children while maintaining the essential features of the standard Paperwhite. It is ad-free and includes perks such as a two-year warranty, six months of Amazon Kids Plus, and a selection of three colorful, kid-friendly covers.
The Kindle Paperwhite Kids, designed for younger audiences, closely resembles the regular Kindle Paperwhite, which remains a top choice among e-readers for avid readers. It features IPX8 water resistance, a seven-inch 300ppi display, USB-C support, and ample storage for countless e-books. Performance is comparable to its standard counterpart, and it includes a backlight that adjusts color temperature for comfortable reading at night.
The unique features of the 16GB Kids model include an ad-free interface, a comprehensive two-year hardware warranty, expanded parental controls, and a selection of vibrant covers suitable for children. Amazon also provides six months of Amazon Kids Plus, valued at $36, allowing access to a broad library of age-appropriate digital books, games, and videos.
