My daughter reads way more with this Kindle!
My daughter loves this Kindle. Here are a few of the features we are enjoying:Amazon Kids:It was very easy to sign into her already existing Amazon Kids account. There was an offer that came with the purchase for a free subscription to Amazon Kids for x amount of time, which was nice, but it was not clear if that will be applied to our existing account that we pay for. The setup was very minimal and the parental controls can be managed from the parents phone. We chose not to put time limits on her Kindle because the lighting on the screen is like reading a book and I want to encourage her to read as much as she wants.Screen Quality:There is no glare on the screen and the lighting can adjust if you move from a dark room to a lighter room or outside. She also loves that there is a dark mode option so she can read at night without lights on and it does not hurt her eyes.Case:The Kids version of this kindle comes with a case. She chose the starfish option. The case is very colorful and she really enjoys the picture on it. I believe this case will protect the kindle adequately. She has dropped it/had some accidents with it and there has been no damage to the kindle. She was a little bummed that the case did not have a feature to stand it up without holding the Kindle, but she has adjusted to holding it or leaning it against things, so I would say over all it is a good case.Using the Kindle:For the most part the kindle works great! It is very easy to use. She is able to search for any book she can think of and find it. Most of the books she searches are already included in the subscription. The books that are not included seem to be a reasonable price. There has only been one book that she tried to search that we were not able to find. We have had the kindle for about a month and there have been two times that it froze and needed to be restarted, but works fine after the restart, so it has not been an issue. The settings are very easy to get into by clicking the top of the screen and they are user friendly/intuitive. Her books seem to download quickly and they will open immediately after downloading. The battery lasts forever on this thing. She uses it all the time and she just charged it for the second time after a month of having it. I would recommend using the charger that came with the Kindle. I'm not sure what is different about our phone chargers, but they do not work for it. It might be because they are super fast chargers and maybe the kindle can't have that? Not sure...Other:I really feel that this is a great product for getting kids to read more. My daughter has been reading everyday since this was delivered. She has always enjoyed reading, but the amount of time she spends reading has significantly increased! Also, I really enjoy that this is the exact same as my adult Kindle, so I know how to use it!

Yes! Buy this right now!
Love! I love everything about this. Not one complaint. The texture of the case is so smooth on the inside and the outside- I could pet it all day! The image on the case is super vibrant, you can literally read this anywhere- no glare in the sun, adjust brightness at night (I love the dark mode!) I didn't notice any difference in speed compared to my og kindle or my scribe- not a dig, it's all good, definitely fast enough for page turning and what not.I got this for my daughter to encourage more reading. She's loves it too, especially now she has her own Kindle like mommy.I'm not crazy about the weight- it's a touch too heavy for my liking but I also have carpal tunnel syndrome so maybe you won't mind at all.I freaking love that this thing is water proof! I'm so glad for that! There's no way I'd give my kids a piece of technology that isn't water proof- it would be easier to just go to the toilet and dump my money in there and flush lol.I also love that it came with SIX whole months of kindle kids unlimited! And tons of free books like Harry Potter! I'm having her read the book and then we watch the movie- so fun!You can also switch from kids mode to adult and you can even add books to your kids library from your account. Ah-mazing.Please disregard reviews that complain about there not being books for teens- these people had the opportunity to see what content is available for KIDS unlimited and they obviously did not. It's not hard to learn about what you're getting before you buy it. Sigh.

Love reading again
I bought this for an adult, the case is so cute and soft I had to have it. Not sure how water resistant it actually is as I don’t want to harm it in my testing. Not my first kindle and won’t be my last but this is definitely one of my favorites. The screen is so clear I forgot to set my font and page color the way I usually do when I first set up my kindles. I just loved it right out of the box and it was so easy to set up and get started reading. It weighs almost nothing which is good for keeping my hands from getting tired when holding it. I haven’t really explored too many menus I just downloaded and imported some books and got going. I’ve had a little bit of trouble turning the pages sometimes but that might be the book itself and not the function of the kindle. Sometimes the imported library books freeze on pages so that’s on the book or something I’m doing wrong.Overall it was a great purchase and well worth the money. I got it for the case and the case is very soft and the colors are popping. The kids section was pretty well done I was wondering how that was set up and it was just a smaller library that you give the kid permission to read and they can just go at it and with the subscription they can read more kid friendly books included. I think you can even control that aspect with your phone or computer.Adult or kid as long as they can read they will be able to use and hopefully enjoy this device. Not going to promise a love of reading but when that’s all they can do on this it’s a good screen for a little reader to have
