Both models have some form of internal light for reading in the dark and support Bluetooth audio for listening to Audible audiobooks. The chief difference between the two models: the Paperwhite has a higher-resolution screen that’s easier on the eyes and is waterproof. Most models of the Kindle Kids are sold out, and I suspect Amazon may be phasing out the base product to replace it with the more-expensive Kindle Paperwhite Kids, which includes more gender-neutral covers like black, “emerald forest,” and “robot dreams.” (I don’t recommend the Kindle Paperwhite Kids either, as you’ll see-my issues are not with the hardware.) The covers come in blue, pink, “rainbow birds,” and “space station,” which is either good or bad depending on how traditional your views of gender roles are. There’s nothing special hardware-wise about the Kindle Kids: it’s just a standard Kindle bundled with a magnetic cover that puts the Kindle to sleep when closed. Do not buy this product for your children or grandchildren. Getting a Kindle Kids was a huge mistake. Plus, as a parent, I was excited to give him an electronic device that doesn’t have Minecraft, YouTube, and other time-wasting frivolities. Harris has recently started to enjoy reading, and I thought he’d appreciate a Kindle of his own rather than having to borrow his mother’s iPad. That’s why I thought a Kindle Kids ebook reader would make a great gift for my oldest son’s ninth birthday.

In fact, it has gotten better with age: PDF support has improved greatly, there’s the great “page flip” feature (see “ Amazon Introduces Page Flip for Kindle,” 28 June 2016), and Amazon is even rolling out EPUB support. It’s longer-lived than many electronics (I’m still using one I bought when I started at TidBITS in 2013), the battery lasts forever, and I can sideload whatever ebooks I want over email or USB.
