Amazon currently has their Kindle Kids bundles on sale for all three Kindle models, which includes the Kindle Colorsoft, the Kindle Paperwhite, and the basic Kindle.
Here are the links to the deals:
- Kindle Colorsoft Kids – $219.99 ($50 off)
- Kindle Paperwhite Kids – $149.99 ($30 off)
- Kindle Kids – $109.99 ($20 off)
The bundle packages are priced lower than buying Kindles on their own (except the basic Kindle is priced the same as the bundle), so even if you’re buying a Kindle for an adult these are a better deal right now since there isn’t a difference between the Kindles themselves—they just include some extras with the bundle.
The main difference is these bundle packages come with a cover (there are a few different designs to choose from) and an upgraded 2-year warranty, which, unlike the standard 1-year Kindle warranty, covers accidental breakages (the screen cracking, for instance).
The kids bundles also come with a free 1-year subscription to Amazon Kids+ for access to a library of content for kids. Because of that, they do not have the option to get 3-months of Kindle Unlimited for free like when purchasing standard Kindles.
The Kindle Kids bundles are also eligible for Amazon’s trade-in program so you can get an additional 20% off the sale price if you have an old Kindle to trade-in. Even if it doesn’t work Amazon will still give you the 20% discount and a $5 Amazon credit—it’s a good way to get rid of old, broken Kindles.
In case you’re wondering, there aren’t kids bundles for any of the Kindle Scribe models. In fact, the Kindle Scribes are the only Kindles that don’t support kids mode at all.
