Get This Deal

The Colorsoft Kids normally sits at $298.95 over the past 30 days, so today's $209.99 lands about $89 under that average. It is also below the 90-day average of $282.51 and the 180-day average of $271.04. The lowest price ever recorded is $189.99, so this is not the floor, but it is the cheapest you will find it without waiting for a big sale event.

What You're Getting

The bundle is the real story. Amazon values the 12-month Kids+ subscription, the cover, and the 2-year worry-free guarantee at up to $364 combined.

Kids+ unlocks thousands of age-appropriate titles for readers aged 3 to 12, including series like Artemis Fowl, Big Nate, and Percy Jackson. After the first year, the subscription renews monthly starting at $7.99, and you can cancel anytime from the Parent Dashboard.

Who This Is For

Best for parents who want a dedicated reading device instead of handing over a full tablet. The color screen makes illustrated books and covers pop, and the no-apps design keeps kids on the page rather than in a game.

If your child already reads heavily on a black-and-white Kindle and color does not matter to them, the Paperwhite Kids is the cheaper route.

The Caveat

This is a reading device, not a tablet. There are no videos, games, or apps by design, so a kid expecting entertainment beyond books will be disappointed.

Buy it for the reader, not the screen addict.

Final Verdict

For parents shopping for a first e-reader, the included Kids+ year plus the worry-free guarantee alone justify the $209.99 tag. Skip it only if you can hold out for a deeper cut, since the all-time low of $189.99 is still $20 below today's price.
