Keeping your kids free from online distractions can be a challenge, with modern mobile devices giving them ready access to videos, games, and more. A dedicated ebook reader for your child is a great alternative to a tablet, but if you’re looking for a device with built-in learning apps and a better warranty than most, then check out Amazon’s Kindle for Kids bundle.

Children’s literature tends to be fairly short and if your kid loves to read, you know how quickly they can burn through a stack of books. An ebook reader not only gives you access to much cheaper ebooks, but keeps all of them on a single device, making them ideal for road trips and reading on the go.

Kindle for Kids bundleThe Kindle for Kids bundle includes the standard Kindle ebook reader along with a folding case that protects the screen, and boasts the e-ink display that made the Kindle famous. This screen uses multiple shades of gray to mimic the appearance of paper, virtually eliminating the eye strain that comes from staring at a bright LCD display — an even bigger concern for children whose eyes are still developing.

Let’s face it: Kids can be rough-and-tumble with their stuff, so along with the protective cover, the Kindle for Kids bundle is covered by a generous two-year worry-free warranty from Amazon. If anything happens to your child’s device, Amazon will replace it for free, no questions asked. This ebook reader also comes loaded with features like Kindle FreeTime, Word Wise, and Vocabulary Builder to help your child learn new words, set goals, and track reading progress.

The eighth-generation Kindle alone normally costs $80, while the Kindle for Kids bundle is currently on sale for $100 after a neat $25 discount. This means that for a limited time, you can get your child a Kindle with a protective cover, two-year worry-free warranty, and built-in kid-friendly features, for just $20 more than the standard ebook reader.

There’s still time to shop these Kindle Black Friday deals
Best Black Friday Kindle Deals

If you've been thinking about getting an e-book reader, you've still got time to take advantage of Amazon's Kindle Black Friday deals. This year's offers, which are still available even after the shopping holiday has passed, cover the different models of Amazon's reading device, including the Kindle Paperwhite and the Kindle Oasis, so there should be something out there that will match your needs and budget. To help you choose, we've rounded up the top remaining Black Friday deals on the Amazon Kindle line right here, but it's recommended that you hurry in finalizing your purchase because similar deals have already sold out, and we're not sure if they will return for the upcoming Cyber Monday deals.
Amazon Kindle (2022) -- $85, was $100

The 2022 release of the Amazon Kindle is the simplest way to read e-books while on the move -- and also the cheapest in the Kindle Black Friday deals, among the various models. The device features a 6-inch e-ink display with a resolution of 300 pixels per inch, up from 167 ppi in its previous version, with a backlight that will let you manually adjust the screen's brightness. It comes with 16GB of storage, which is enough space for thousands of books, and a battery that can last up to six weeks on a single charge. After linking the Kindle to your Amazon account, you'll have access to the Kindle Store, where you'll be able to search and purchase books, as well as download the best free books for Kindle.

Even though the majority of Kindle Black Friday deals are over, there are still a few going around, including supplementary deals like this one on Amazon's Kindle Unlimted subscription. In fact, you can grab a three-month for the tiny price of $1, compared to the usual $10 it goes for, saving you a total of $29 over three months. Unfortunately, we've already seen a lot of similar deals on subscriptions and services end, so you should act quickly if you're interested, and don't wait for any potential Cyber Monday deals. Truthfully, we don't know if we'll see anything as good, or at all for Kindle Unlimited, so it's worth picking it up now.

Why you should sign up for Kindle Unlimited
Amazon's Kindle Unlimited is a book-borrowing service that was launched in 2014. Members have access to millions of titles, including e-books, comic books, audiobooks, and magazines. You can "borrow" up to 10 books at a time, which you can download directly to your device. There are no due dates, but you'll have to return a book before you can borrow another once you've reached the limit. You can also listen to audiobooks, but you'll need to have the Audible app to listen to them. The books offered under Kindle Unlimited span every imaginable genre, but the service is focused on promoting self-published, indie authors that will help you step out of your usual reading circles.

If you’re in the market for a new eReader, listen up, because the Prime Early Access Sale is almost through, and yet it's your best chance to score some excellent Prime Day Kindle deals. With the Kindle lineup being an Amazon product, we're seeing some steep discounts, but the event also includes some of the best e-book readers that aren't Amazon's. Historically, the best Prime Day deals have always included the latest and greatest tablets, and the same is true here.

This will be a particularly good event to shop if you missed out on the original event earlier this year, or if you’re already looking to land a great holiday gift. Other retailers are joining in the fun too, like Walmart with its October Rollbacks event, which is basically just a Walmart Prime Day sale in disguise.
