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).

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!
