Amazon’s deal on the Kindle Fire HD Kids Edition ends today! Get it now for only $119 with free shipping (regularly $149) — and it comes with your choice of blue, green or pink cover.
You may be wondering: What’s the difference between the Kids Edition & the regular Kindle Fire HD?
My 9 year old got the Kids Edition this year for his birthday and we LOVE IT! I would definitely make the same choice again for the money — and here’s why:
- Best warranty ever — If your kiddo breaks their Kindle within the first two years, Amazon will replace it NO QUESTIONS ASKED. With a device for a child, you can’t beat this warranty — and honestly, with my not-exactly gentle children, that warranty is definitely worth it to me!
- 1 year of Amazon FreeTime Unlimited – This hand-curated subscription comes with over 5,000 kid-friendly books, movies, TV shows, educational apps, and games. As a parent, you can also set Screen Limits, as well as daily limits on videos and games. (Let’s say you want them to have unlimited reading time, but not unlimited gaming time). I wrote about Kindle FreeTime a while ago – you can read my review.
- The kid-proof case — Although there’s that awesome 2-year warranty, a good case is always a necessity, especially with a device that a child will be using
The device itself is the same device that you can buy regularly – the bonus is the case, the Kindle Free Time and most of all that awesome warranty.

The $119 is for a 6″ display. Is that what your son got?
What does he use it for, generally?
Thanks.
Yes, this is the one he got. He uses it to play games, watch shows, and do some reading (mostly he reads from real books).
Thanks so much Mara. I saw the deal earlier on Amazon, but I really didn’t give it a second thought until you wrote about it. I just ordered one. I was wondering, do you have/ recommend any of the accessories?
Thanks
We don’t have any of the accessories per se, other than the charging cord it came with! Hope that helps!
Do you know if the kindle can “read” books to you? Thanks.
I just asked my 9 year old — and he says it can!
Thanks so much!
