I’m a grown adult and love it.
Honestly, it operates the same as a regular one. I never have to remember to charge it because the battery lasts forever. For people looking at the newer kindle, I NEVER turned the brightness all the way up so I feel like this would be a good option. The case is quirky and it was better deal for me. It’s the perfect size to throw in just about any purse, and my bags get pretty small. I also have a scribe, and I keep that one at home. This is great for the bus. Even with the case it did scratch somehow, I’m not sure but it’s plastic that feels quality enough and didn’t impact the screen at all. I like the little lip vs the flush screen of the paper white. There is next to no glare and I feel like the lip helps protect the screen. It’s perfect for me and my needs of causal reading on the go or comfortable reading in bed.

Perfect Kindle
I love this. I bought for my kids, but they're too little too use a Kindle, so I have been using it for myself. I love how small it is, and how easy to carry it is. Honestly this was worth every dollar. The battery life lasts so long. It takes about a month until it needs to be charged again. I'm more of a physical book reader, but sometimes books can be bulky to carry every where. This can fit in my back pocket or bag. It's easy to use, and I have no issues reading the words off this Kindle. I definitely would recommend this to readers and anyone that likes hand held technology.

My son reads more because this is so handy and portable!
My kids already enjoy reading but the fact that this features a backlit screen in a lightweight, compact design is just topping on the cake. My son brings it on trips, errands and asks to read before bed. I try to keep it loaded with as many free books as he can find on Amazon. We also sometimes check out books from the library, which is really convenient. The screen resolution is great but if your kids enjoy reading graphic novels they may find some of them difficult to read depending on how they're formatted. The screen is simply too small to enjoy some graphic novels.The case that's included is handy and durable but I wish there were more design/color options.

Kindle for Kids: Transforming Reading Habits and Empowering Learning
Purchasing the Kindle device for my 9-year-old son has been a game-changer. His reading habits have undergone a remarkable transformation, with a staggering 200% increase in his reading time. This device has become an integral part of his life, accompanying him on vacations and long road trips, making it an invaluable addition to our family.One of the most remarkable aspects of the Kindle for Kids is its ability to captivate my son's attention without constant reminders. Witnessing him immerse himself in books voluntarily has been a delight. As parents, we couldn't be happier with the positive impact it has had on his reading habits.The Kindle's suitability for the classroom setting is another significant advantage. His schoolteacher even approved its use in the classroom due to its lack of a browser and games, ensuring minimal distractions. As a parent, this reassurance brings peace of mind, knowing that his focus remains firmly on educational content during school hours.What truly sets this Kindle apart is the level of control it offers parents. I have the ability to curate and manage the content my son has access to, ensuring that it aligns with his age and interests. This feature has been indispensable in maintaining a safe and educational environment for him.

Easy to Navigate
This was a reward for my kiddo who was uninterested in reading. She had to read 100 20-minute sessions to earn it. The unicorn cover was probably 95% of the motivation. Set up was quick and easy. Parent dashboard is easy to access on my computer or phone. It is a great size for small hands, and the content that is free with the 1 year Kids+ subscription is varied and large, though some of the books she was most interested in reading still cost money. I love that she can request to purchase a book and I can approve or reject the purchase in the parent dashboard. She loves audio books and it was easy to connect to our Bluetooth speaker, but the sound quality is not great. It intermittently gets loud and echoes. We can’t figure out why it’s doing that. Overall it’s been a huge success and has continued to motivate her to read.

Great product to buy even as an adult.
I bought this product during the prime day of 2024 and when I tell you, it probably was the best purchase I have ever received. I was able to customize my Kindle to my speed. I was able to bring my Kindle every single place I go even if I couldn’t bring my book. The battery life is literally amazing. I don’t remember the last time I’ve charged my Kindle and it is still working perfectly. The only thing is it is a little slow, but that comes through all kindles. I paid about $90 for it which I would say is a great deal. Just go and purchase the product you will not regret it.

My 9 year old loves this
I got this for my daughter who likes to read before bed. She often would fall asleep with her light still on.She loves this little device. Her teachers let her bring it to school since it doesn't have any games or distractions. She's started discovering a lot of new books that she can get for free and searches the store on her own for her friends' recommendations. The other day she let me know that her friend told her the book "Matilda" was better than the movie and she immediately went searching for it. It's only available via purchase, so when she clicked on it the request came to my email for me to approve quickly and easily. It's really expanded her ability to find new books on her own without waiting to be taken to the bookstore. There's a lot of parental controls available that are easy to configure.All the same reasons I love my kindle apply to hers. She can take her whole library with her anywhere. She can try a lot of books for free with Kids+, the same way I have Kindle Unlimited. She can get new books wherever there's wifi and at any time of the day. She can read in the car at night. She doesn't lose her spot. The battery lasts a very long time.
