Review Date: November 2019 – Review unit purchased from Amazon Overview Amazon released the Kindle Kids Edition on October 30th, 2019.

Last week Amazon released a new Kindle Kids Edition for 2019. It’s the same exact device as the entry-level Kindle but it comes with a cover, a 2-year warranty, and a 1-year subscription to FreeTime Unlimited for access to kid-friendly content.

The new entry-level Kindle for 2016 is now available as part of a Kindle for Kids bundle for $99. This new Kindle for Kids bundle is better than the last one they used to offer because now it comes with a full cover instead of just a piece that fits over the back of the […]

About three months ago toward the end of May, Amazon started selling a new Kindle for Kids Bundle for $99. There’s nothing “new” about it really, but the idea is new as far as E Ink Kindles are concerned. The device itself is the exact same as the $79 Kindle that was released last October, […]
