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 ($25 off) — one of its best prices to date — at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target.

The ad-free Kindle Kids has dropped below $100 for the first time this year
The Kindle Kids and Kindle Paperwhite Kids are both on sale for 21 percent off. You can also save on Mobvoi’s rugged TicWatch Pro 5 Enduro and Anker’s latest 8-in-1 power strip.

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.
2022 Kindle Kids
Amazon’s latest Kindle Kids is identical to the standard Kindle — meaning it packs a 300ppi display and support for USB-C charging — but comes with a case, an extended two-year warranty, and a year of Amazon Kids Plus.
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.

2021 Kindle Paperwhite Kids (16GB)
Amazon’s kid-friendly Paperwhite is the same as the standard Paperwhite, but it’s ad-free and comes with the added benefits of a two-year hardware protection plan, one year of Amazon Kids Plus, and a choice of three kid-friendly covers.
