Every Kindle Paperwhite Kids comes with timeless classics like Bridge to Terabithia, to popular series like Harry Potter and Ramona Quimby, Kindle Paperwhite Kids has the books that will inspire a love of reading.
Daytime. Bedtime. Anytime.
From the timeless classics you remember from your own childhood to the future classics they’ll remember from theirs, Kindle Paperwhite Kids includes access to thousands of books with Amazon Kids+.
And if the mood to read strikes after lights out, Kindle Paperwhite Kids has an adjustable warm light to shift the shade of the screen from white light to a warm amber. You can also set a Bedtime for each child profile on the Parent Dashboard, to help avoid bedtime disagreements.
Waterproof and worry-free
Kindle Paperwhite Kids is waterproof (IPX8-rated) and has been lab-tested to protect against accidental immersion in up to two meters of fresh water for up to 60 minutes and 0.25 meters for 3 minutes in seawater. Learn more about waterproof features.
We’ve also included a cover made to last, with magnets that close the cover securely and a durable exterior that protects it from scratches. Just like a book, it opens and closes to wake the Kindle Paperwhite Kids or put it to sleep, and is available in a range of kid-friendly designs.
Kid tested, parent approved
Set educational goals and manage content with easy-to-use parental controls. With Parent Dashboard, you can adjust age filters, add books to your child's library, view reading progress, and more. And because Kindle Paperwhite Kids is designed only for reading, in Amazon Kids, kids don’t have access to the Internet or social media. Kindle Paperwhite Kids even offers OpenDyslexic, a font preferred by some readers with dyslexia.
Take the story with you
With Audible, Kindle Paperwhite Kids lets your child switch seamlessly between reading and listening via Bluetooth-enabled speakers or headphones. With the one year of Amazon Kids+ included, kids have access to hundreds of Audible books, including Beauty and the Beast and Peter Pan.
