Get This Deal

For just $169.99, down from its list price of $229.99, you get a reader that has held closer to $195 over the past six months. The 30-day average sits at $229.44, so this is a real gap between what shoppers have been paying and what Amazon is asking today. The all-time low of $144.99 is lower, but that number shows up rarely.

What You're Getting

The Paperwhite Kids runs on a 7-inch display with a higher contrast ratio and 25 percent faster page turns than the previous generation. Amazon calls it the fastest and thinnest Paperwhite Kids yet, and the hardware backs that up.

Amazon Kids+ gives kids aged 3 to 12 unlimited access to thousands of age-appropriate books. After the first six months it renews at $7.99 per month, and you can cancel any time from the Parent Dashboard. The bundle of cover, subscription, and guarantee comes out to up to a $242 value on its own.

Who This Is For

This is for parents of kids who read every day and who want a device that stays a reading device. The warm light and glare-free panel handle bedtime and bright afternoons equally well, and the waterproofing means a dropped book at the pool is not a disaster.

If your child needs apps, games, or a general-purpose tablet, this is the wrong purchase.

The Caveat

The Kids+ subscription is a six-month trial, not a permanent library, so factor the monthly renewal into your math if your child reads enough to keep it. Anyone who already owns a recent Paperwhite Kids has little reason to upgrade.

Final Verdict

If a dedicated reader is on your list this fall, $169.99 is the price to move on, and the cover plus two-year guarantee make the entry cost easier to justify than the sticker suggests.
