The Kindle Paperwhite Kids is at its lowest price ever with a $55 discount.

If you're looking for an alternative to traditional tablets for your children, consider an e-reader. The Kindle Paperwhite Kids, which is practically identical to the standard Paperwhite but with some extras, could be an excellent option. On Amazon, this device is currently offered at $114.99, representing a $55 discount. It includes a playful magnetic protective cover available in two color combinations: dark green and light green, or yellow and purple. This price is only $5 more than the historical low reached a year ago. It's also available with a "Warrior Cats" cover in forest green and orange for $124.99, with the same discount.

The Kindle Paperwhite is one of the most economical ways to acquire and store books, both financially and in terms of saving space. Its 16 GB storage can hold thousands of digital titles in a slim, rectangular format. Moreover, each Kindle Paperwhite Kids includes a year of Amazon Kids Plus, which typically costs $5.99 a month and provides access to thousands of age-appropriate titles, including the entire Harry Potter series and Disney's "Inside Out," among others.

Unlike a tablet, this reader is designed exclusively for reading, which limits its functionality to software focused on that purpose. Its 6.8-inch E Ink screen, while lacking color, is ideal for reading due to its adjustable warmth front light, which helps eliminate harmful blue light during nighttime reading. Additionally, E Ink technology is much more efficient in battery consumption compared to traditional screens, allowing the device to last up to 10 days on a single charge. It also has an IPX8 water resistance rating, making it more resilient to accidents that may occur with children.

The kids' version of the Paperwhite is identical to the standard model but without ads and includes additional benefits such as a two-year hardware protection plan and the option to choose from three child-friendly covers.
