Tackle more challenging books

For kids reading their first chapter books, Word Wise, available on many popular English language titles, makes it easier to enjoy and quickly understand more challenging books. Short and simple definitions automatically appear above difficult words, so they can keep reading with fewer interruptions. Tap on a word to bring up a simple card with definitions, synonyms, and more.

Lighten already heavy backpacks

Kindle holds thousands of books, so your family will never have to leave their favorite titles behind.

Latest generation Kindle

The latest Kindle without sponsored screensavers has a touchscreen display and reads like paper—no annoying glare, even in bright sunlight. Learn more

Unlike tablets, no blue light to disturb your family's sleep

Recent studies have shown that evening exposure to blue light from backlit screens like tablets and smartphones can suppress the body’s production of melatonin, a naturally occurring hormone that helps the body fall asleep. Because the Kindle display emits no light, your family can read before bedtime without losing sleep.

Leave the cord at home

A single battery charge lasts weeks, not hours, so there’s one less thing 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.”

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.

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.

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, the words are automatically added to the Vocabulary Builder on the device. With Vocabulary Builder, kids 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 readers can easily access definitions without leaving the page.

Highlight

Readers can easily highlight their favorite quotes and sentences to remember for later.

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.

Great readers make great spellers

Kindle is the proud presenting sponsor of the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Started in 1925, more than 11 million students now participate in the Scripps National Spelling Bee each year. Educational research shows spelling and reading have a tightly woven relationship. As children become more fluent readers using Kindle features like Word Wise, it becomes easier for them to learn more complicated words. Kindle offers technology that will be used by the Scripps National Spelling Bee in building its word lists for school-level study materials, reinforcing the message that early reading leads to great spelling and vocabulary.

In support of this mission, the PTA Family Reading Experience, Powered by Kindle is an easily replicable event that local PTAs can implement within their schools to engage families in fun activities and provide them with tools and strategies to help their children become better readers.

Kindle 8th Generation "Kids Bundle"

ByAmazon Customeron January 17, 2017

Color: Blue

I bought 2 of these for christmas presents and I have to say they aren't very kid friendly. Every kindle I've had in the past has been pretty easy to use, this one has a lot of options that I think could be elsewhere to make it easier for a child to navigate. They have an easier time using the other devices (kindle fire, or kindle app on their other tablets) which is unfortunate because I wanted them to be able to have something strictly for reading. Also for a kids bundle its very disappointing that most children's books don't work with this device. No where on the kids bundle page does it state this is an 8th generation kindle. Now, I have a few kindles and have bought new ones as they come out, but I haven't followed close enough to know this is an 8th generation without that information available on the page. I planned on buying these devices so bought a bunch of books listed as available for e-readers 5th generation. I assumed since it was the latest one listed, and my new devices didn't have anything listed, it was the latest. I just found out today that its an 8th generation and a lot of books aren't available on this device, with hopes that will change in the future. So now I have a lot of money spent on books they have to read on their old devices (the devices with games and access to the internet and videos). I spent extra money on 2 new devices so they had something to use daily without that access, all to find out their age appropriate books can't be read on their new devices. I think this information should be available to parents who are looking for a device they can sit their kids down with and not have to worry about them not focusing on something so important to them. Reading is important to children of all ages, and they can only read at their own levels. Its unfortunate that all books aren't available for all devices. This "kids bundle" gave the impression their new devices would help them stay focused on reading and they can't even read their age appropriate books. I'm seeing the more expensive titles are available and their is an option to pay monthly for certain items, but what about the parents who are limited to their purchases? Maybe this device is good for an older child, since most books without pictures are available, but for young children I'd stay away. I knew this kindle wouldn't work with color, but when the old kindle with keyboard supports these new books, you would think the newer kindles would as well.

Fully controllable limits.

ByAnnaon November 4, 2016

Color: Black

I love the fact that it has the kids free time thus limiting what your child can read. Plus the parental controls the you can set time limits. It gives a parent full control over what and for how long a child can read.

NOT JUST FOR KIDS!

ByDevinon March 31, 2017

Color: Pink

I bought this for myself as my first kindle! This is the best deal you can get on a kindle, especially with the $30 off if you're a prime member. This is the original kindle that is $80 that comes with a case, no ads, and a protection plan. The case is magnetic, not the greatest quality, but it will do perfect for me for a year or so. I connected easily to my library account and to my other books already downloaded on my kindle app. It automatically connected to my amazon prime account. I love it! This deal will not disappoint!

I LOVE this!

ByBookie Monsteron February 16, 2017

Color: Black

I LOVE this!!!! Although it doesn't show color, (which is about the only thing I don't love about it) it is still very cool. I got it when I was 9, back in 2015, and loved it! It doesn't show ads, which I really love, since does ANYONE like those pesky ads? Very good product, and totally worth your money.

Loved the concept but execution falls short - and Customer Service was terrible!

ByDC Momon April 17, 2017

Color: Purple

I loved the concept of an ereader that would not be screen time. However, I have found several drawbacks to this version when compared to prior kindles I have owned. First, this product has no speaker of any kind, so it cannot play audible books or even do text to speech unless you use wireless headphones. A big loss - no current Kindle ereader can play audible books -- only older generation kindle ereaders or the Fire (which has the problem of introducing videos to reading time) - and sometimes, my daughter just wants to be read to while she follows along. Second, it operates SLOWLY. Third, the Freetime service is so poorly organized that it is very unlikely that my daughter will be able to find anything she wants there. The categories are not the types of categories you might see in bookstore - e.g. mystery, biography, early chapter books, realistic fiction, series, etc - but an odd collection of categories - e.g. ballet, Frozen, Disney, Trucks, etc. Most of the options seem very commercial and not the types of books I would want her to read. And there is no description of the book (like the blurb on the Amazon website) - so there is no way other than the title (and the unhelpful category) to tell her what the book is about before she downloads and starts to read it. Finally, when I called customer service hoping for a clearer explanation of how to move around within Free time, and to put books from my Amazon account in the freetime library, I got a representative who took long breaks between each one of my questions (presumably because she did not know the answer and had to look it up) and who was very difficult to understand because of her strong accent. I hope someone from Amazon R and D reads this email and tries to address these issues, because I am 110% behind the idea of a kids ereader without access to video games or videos - but the Kindle for Kids Bundle with Kindle version 8 does not meet my needs and is frustratingly difficult to use. And customer service was a nightmare!
