    • It's just a kindle
Color: Space Station Cover
This is my 5th Kindle to include Fires and Paper Whites. It operates exactly like a Paper White, which is to say that the controls are a pain. The security is somewhat lacking. It is possible to turn off FreeTime which links the kindle to the parent account where your kid could just download and read any adult books. The second major problem is that FreeTime is a J O K E. The "popular free titles" aren't that popular. Yes you get Harry Potter... but no Percy Jackson? no Unwanteds? no H.I.V.E.? No Lemony Snicket? Basically if you're buying this for a 6 year old who has virtually no reading preference, you're good to go... just don't let them touch the settings button. ... show more

    • FreeTime Unlimited Subscription and Interface Fall Short
Color: Pink Cover
There are two parts to this review -- the Kindle hardware and the Freetime software and interface. I'm assuming most of the people looking at this already know what a Kindle e-reader is and how it generally works, so that part will come last. 2019NOV11 Update: Also noticed this problem with the FreeTime interface. If you're disconnected from the network, all the FreeTime interface shows is the recent book list. So if you're disconnected from a network (say on a car ride), and have downloaded books to the Kindle for your child to read but they haven't opened them yet, there is no way for them to show up in the FreeTime interface unless you attach it to a network and open up the book in FreeTime so that it shows up in the recent list. I'm bumping my review down another star. Freetime Unlimited Library and Interface ================================ As provided with the Kindle when shipped, the Freetime Unlimited Library and the Freetime user interface are terrible, if not unusable. I'm convinced that whoever designed the Freetime user interface and and its interaction with the Freetime Unlimited library has no children and never showed it to a parent before shipping it on the Kindle. When I purchased this, I was under the impression -- given some of the online documentation -- that parental controls could be used to select which titles, genres, etc. are made available to the child. This is not possible. You can choose to give your child either access to *all* the titles that some unknown person at Amazon has determined to be appropriate for an age range ... or none (by limiting access to the library altogether). Additionally, the parental controls for limiting reading hours do not work. The interface itself is a bit of a mess -- although some of my complaints here are related to the parental controls. I think it's entirely possible for younger readers to become completely distracted by the quantity of books; not only that, but there doesn't seem to be a synopsis or summary of the book when one is selected from the home page. Without a good set of parental controls in place, I could see how some kids could end up reading a few pages of many books without before reading a single one from beginning to end. My Workaround ============= If you're like me and find the controls lacking you can shut off access to the Freetime Unlimited library and take advantage of the access to digital book lending you probably have through your local library. That will give you a wide selection of available books and provide a little more control of what your child is reading ... The Hardware =========== It's a Kindle with e-ink and lighting; it seems to be well constructed and my son likes the case it came with. It seems relatively responsive and displays text and grayscale images well. I have no complaints here. The reading interface is pretty intuitive and self-explanatory. With a young child, having the 2-year warrant lets me worry a little less. ... show more

    • Fantastic, As Long As You Recognize It's Not Supposed to Be a Tablet
Color: Rainbow Birds Cover

The media could not be loaded. We want to begin this review by stating something simple, something that should be patently obvious: This is an e-reader. This is NOT a tablet or iPad. This is for READING. This is not for games or watching YouTube. This is a beautiful device that does exactly what it's supposed to do: allow your child to read. Ok. Soapbox has been stowed. We really like this device. For several years, way back when e-readers were first coming out, we extensively used a competitor's brand. We enjoyed that perfectly fine. You can totally see the evolution of e-readers with this, particularly with respect to being kid (and parent)-friendly. It only has the one button (and again, don't come into this expecting a touch screen, because #notatablet), and it turns itself on and off. It starts up super-fast and picks right back up with where your child left off reading. It is backlit, which is something our device-accustomed eyes will need to adjust to. The cover is brilliant. Physically, it has magnets on front and back and holds itself open nicely. We got the version with the rainbow birds, and they are well done. Each bird has its own character and expression. The inside is purple, so it doesn't scream "boy" or "girl," if you're using this with a brother and sister (as we do in our household), As a parent, I love this, because I don't have to worry that my kids are reading something I don't want them reading. I can see what they're doing and for how long. And if I ever feel bored myself (if only), I can use my PIN and exit the kid mode. At this point, it becomes a "regular" Kindle and I can read what I want to read. There are different programs to use for reading (e.g. GoodReads) and apparently you can borrow books, although I haven't had a chance to play with that much. There is even an experimental browser you can use, although I hate to cross those streams. Downloads are fast (we did a Wimpy Kid book in about 15 seconds), and the batter life is pretty insane. If you or your child is reading anything with a comic frame, double-clicking on it will expand it so you can see better. I've been fighting with my daughter this school year to read, although that's absurd because her reading level is off the charts. She seems to like this a whole lot. I guess it's "cooler" to read this way than the ancient way with an actual book in her hand. I don't much care, as long as she's reading. ... show more

    • AMAZON, YOU KNOW BETTER
Color: Pink Cover
I ordered it for my 9 year old because I wanted her to read without being distracted by the videos and games. Honestly, I am highly disappointed, it is in black and white, children are stimulated by the gaiety of color. The navigation is a joke. Amazon/Kindle, you could have done better than this! The concept of JUST an e-reader is great but you all need to go back to the drawing board on this one. By the way, this is my 4th Kindle so my expectations were very high. Come on, Amazon you know better! ... show more

    • Absolute Trash
Color: Space Station Cover
Just received this device today and I'm ready to throw it out the window. Navigation is horrible and even customer service admitted that they don't know how to help. It's a nightmare trying to get your free subscription set up as they just keep redirecting you to set up a 30 day trial and be charged after. Every book we click on gives us an error message that the book cannot be borrowed right now and after adding books to my daughter's library from my laptop, I'm now getting the error message that "The book is currently unavailable." I'll be cancelling everything and sending this back ASAP. Not worth the time, money or frustration. ... show more
