I currently own the newest Kindle Paperwhite and have been loving it. Kindles in general are very convenient, and having the ability to easily toggle the screen brightness is a game changer for reading at night. It is the overall best Kindle you can buy right now, but unfortunately that model is not currently on sale. You can, however, find a really good deal on the Kindle Paperwhite Kids' version on Amazon right now which is pretty much the same thing.
The newest Kindle Paperwhite Kids e-reader is currently on sale at its lowest price ever. On top of that, Amazon is running a promotion that takes an additional $20 off the price if you purchase two of them. If you've been in the market for a couple of new Kindles, this is a great option right now — even if it is a Kids' edition.
Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Kids on Sale Today
With the $40 discount, this price matches the lowest we've ever seen on the new Kindle Paperwhite Kids. If you factor in the additional $20 you can save by purchasing two at once, that discount brings the price down to just $129.99 per Kindle. That's only a little bit more expensive than the standard Kindle and about $30 cheaper than the regular Kindle Paperwhite.
The Kindle Paperwhite Kids is pretty much the same as the Kindle Paperwhite, but it comes with a couple of additional things. The first add-on is the cast that is included with the device. This is really just additional savings compared to the standard model where the case is sold separately. You also get a free six-month subscription to Amazon Kids+, which you can choose to continue or stop once the trial period is over. For those who aren't familiar with Amazon Kids+, it is essentially a digital platform that provides ad-free books, games, and videos. If you are purchasing this for a younger kid, it also comes with a parent dashboard that allows you to choose which books get added to their library.
Should I Buy the Kids' Edition for an Adult?
Whether you're looking to buy a Kindle for yourself or someone you love, there's really no reason you can't pick up the kids' version. It is the same hardware as the Paperwhite, comes with a cool case, and free subscription to some ad-free books. With the discount going on right now, this would even make a good Mother's Day gift. You may need to explain why the case is so colorful, but for the price it is absolutely worth it.
