5.0 out of 5 stars Panel view works superbly
Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2024
Picked this up for my 6yo (just getting into reading) and after I figured out panel view for his favorite comic, he's super into his Kindle. For the uninitiated, panel view enabled books let you double tap into portions of a full page with multiple panels and zoom into one panel at a time. Makes it much easier to read the text and appreciate the imagery. The Kindle will remember you activated panel view and show all subsequent pages that way. Double tap once more to deactivate panel view and go back to regular page view.

Toss in the form factor, warm light and long battery, I'm a happy papa. Only suggestion would be to include a case that lets you prop the phone on its own without having to hold it (or as a upgrade option).

5.0 out of 5 stars I think Kindles are one of the best inventions ever and this is a great improvement!
Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2024
I have had the Kindle Keyboard, the first Kindle Paperwhite, and probably all other Kindle Paperwhites, and I can definitely say that this is the best one yet and the one I am happiest with. Amazon didn't post the full pictures of the case so I have included those because I think a lot of people will be interested in seeing what they look like. The cover seems to be some sort of dystopian nightmare cityscape boat ride with a fuschia felt interior. I am not a fan of fuschia and pink but this will do I guess because I like the front cover.

This new version is so much quicker and speedier than the previous versions. Quicker when scrolling, quicker when searching, quicker when typing. I love it and can't go back to the previous version and I will be keeping this one.

It does feel a little larger than the previous generation Kindle Paperwhite Kids which I had with the green cover. (I did like the green cover better.) I don't think this new one needed to be larger. My old cover will not fit with this new Kindle Paperwhite Kids.

Sadly, still no text-to-speech, of course. I think the Assistive Reader is unbearably clunky.

The last thing you need to be aware of is that there are ads and no way to get rid of them, except you can turn the personalized ads off. I didn't have ads on my previous Kindle Paperwhite Kids. I find this annoying.

Happy Reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars My little bookworm loves this...
Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2024
So, my daughter managed to destroy the charging port on my old Paperwhite 2.

I went to look for a replacement and Amazon was out of stock of all Kindles.

The next day they released this and we bought it. She loves it so much! With USB C the port should be resistant to upside down rage plugging, if not Amazon covers it with a 2 year replacement warranty.

1.0 out of 5 stars Comes with ads
Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2024
It comes with lock screen ads the only way to have them remove them is to pay an additional $20. Talked with customer service and they say that I accepted a discount when I purchased it. There is no option on the kids kindle to do this, and no mention of locked screen ads. Only on the regular kindle does it give the option to pay more for no lock screen ads, but this was the kids kindle version.

2.0 out of 5 stars managing the software and subscriptions (Kids, Kids+) is inconvenient; cannot sideload for kids
Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2024
I wasn't interested in the literature offered on Kids Plus (a few good offerings, but mostly twaddle), and when I disabled it, I also inadvertently disabled Amazon Kids...which left the Home Screen littered with recommendations for literature inappropriate for my child. Moreover, Amazon has a streamlined setup if you want to set up Amazon Kids with a Kids + subscription and a child profile, but any deviation from this mainline is a PITA. Finding the various settings across the device itself, Amazon Parent Dashboard, Amazon Household etc is clunky and inconvenient.

As long as the device is set up with a Kids profile, it is impossible to load content (such as public domain) onto the device that does not go through Amazon. This may be a safety feature for some families, but for others, it should be an option. While I appreciate that Amazon wants to lead purchasers (ultimately) to buy more books, they have a stranglehold on this device that makes it an excercise in frustration to use if you're looking for a simple e-reader. Frankly, it makes me want to break their influence altogether. I think we will probably return this device.

Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2024
Wow Im in shock… I’ve had the last generation and now got my hands on this one. The biggest and first thing I noticed is the how quick it is to flip pages or navigate through the menus… Super easy to use! I am extremely happy with my purchase.

Also the second you get out of the kids account there are ads so be aware!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great deal
Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2024
My son does more reading with this device in the first week of having it than in a month. The free kids plus is a solid service. The people complaining about ads are probably using it as an adult to save a few $$. When in kids mode there are no ads. Which is what it’s primarily for.

If you exit the kids profile you will get ads on the adult account.
