This e-reader is designed just for kids — and it has parental controls!

Kindle Kids has all the great features you love in the adult version of Kindle, but with younger ones in mind. It has a black and white glare-free display and a battery life that can last for weeks (not a typo). Unlike tablets, this is focused solely on reading, so you don't have to worry about your child getting distracted by apps and games while they're "reading."

You'll get a year of Amazon Kids+ with the Kindle Kids, allowing your child to check out more than a thousand books for just $4.99 a month. The first year of access is free!

For just $80 (down from $120), you'll get the Kindle, a year of Amazon Kids+, a kid-friendly cover, and a two-year warranty.

Kindle Kids has an army of fans. "I bought this for my daughter and she already is a huge bookworm," one parent said. "A couple of kids in her grade have Kindles and my daughter wanted one. She was so excited when I got her one! I love that it was affordable, she likes the cover, and she spends a ton of time reading now. I’m very pleased with this purchase."

One parent said it's even great for graphic novels. "My kid loves graphic novels, so I was a little nervous about how they would look on the screen, but it's great."

Again, this sale is only happening for a limited time. Grab a Kindle Kids at a hefty discount while you still can!
