New to Prime Day? We’ve prepared a comprehensive guide for you, covering everything you need to know . Discount information is current at the time of publication, but prices and availability are subject to change.
One of the best Prime Day deals right now—especially if you have young readers in your home—is the Kindle Colorsoft Kids Edition e-reader, which is now on sale for $179.99, down $90 from its original price of $269.99 and the lowest price it’s ever reached, according to price tracking tools .
Kindle children’s models are always a better value than the standard adult versions, regardless of the owner’s age: they come with a case, are ad-free, and offer a free trial of Amazon Kids+, a subscription that provides access to a wide range of books. You also get an extended two-year warranty. Your Amazon Kids+ subscription automatically renews monthly (starting at $5.99 per month) unless you cancel. You can also use the parental dashboard to add books from your account to your child’s library, track reading progress, customize age filters, set bedtimes, and more.
The Kindle Colorsoft Kids Edition e-reader was released last July and is essentially identical to the adult Kindle Colorsoft version, but with the aforementioned advantages. The color screen is ideal for reading comics and picture books. It features an adjustable backlight for nighttime reading, and the battery lasts up to 8 weeks.
If you’re unsure whether the kids’ version is right for you (or your child), we have a review of all Kindle models . I’ve been using Kindles for over ten years and love them. While this Kindle doesn’t seem worth the price at full price, at $180 it’s a great buy.
