The ad-free Kindle Kids has dropped below $100 for the first time this year


I will be the first to admit that the Kindle deals we saw during Amazon Prime Day in July were lackluster at best. Only the note-taking Kindle Scribe saw a discount worth highlighting, though, thankfully, we’re starting to see prices drop across the entire lineup. Right now, for instance, the latest Kindle Kids is on sale for $94.99 ($15 off) — one of its best prices to date — at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target.
So-called “kid” devices from Amazon are often misunderstood. The ad-free ebook reader is identical to the 11th-gen model rolled out in 2022, which remains the best budget option. It offers a sharp 300ppi display and USB-C support as well as up to six weeks of battery life with average use. The Kids version simply comes with optional parental controls, an extended two-year warranty, and one of several kid-friendly cases, none of which you are required to use. Amazon also includes a year of Amazon Kids Plus with each purchase, which provides access to ad-free games, videos, and books in the Artemis Fowl, Percy Jackson, and Harry Potter series.
If you want a larger display or IPX8 waterproofing, the latest Kindle Paperwhite Kids is also on sale at Amazon and Best Buy for $134.99 ($35 off), nearly matching its second-best price to date. Like the standard Kindle, the 6.8-inch Paperwhite Kids is identical to the base model, only with optional parental controls, a protective case, and all of the aforementioned perks. That makes it a great option for kids and adults alike, especially at the current deal price.
