Amazon Kids’ Kindles are just $95 before October Prime Day

Don’t let the name fool you.

Kids’ Kindles are essentially full-featured Kindles in a cute disguise. Same screen, same storage, same reading experience, but all for a lower cost. Plus, they come with a few bonuses adults don’t even get.

Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days (Oct. 7 through Oct. 8) is one of the best chances all year to grab deep discounts on the hottest tech of the year, before the holiday rush. And honestly, a Kindle makes a perfect gift, whether it’s for your bookworm kiddo, or that person who accidentally left theirs on the train (me, honestly).

But you don’t have to wait until next week if you don’t want to, because Kids’ Kindles are marked down to just $95 as an early Prime Day deal.

Here’s the kicker: the Kids’ Kindle isn’t any less functional than the standard device. It’s not dimmer, not smaller, or slower. It’s just a Kindle with an extra year of warranty, a durable kiddie case, and a full year of Amazon Kids+, which unlocks thousands of age-appropriate books and graphic novels. By the way, if you’re an adult, just treat it like a regular Kindle and read away.

The Amazon Kindle Kids 16GB is currently 27% off ahead of Prime Day and comes packed with features designed specifically for children. The Parent Dashboard lets you easily add books from your account to your child’s library, monitor reading progress, adjust age filters, and even set device bedtimes. It also includes a two-year worry-free guarantee, providing peace of mind in case of accidental drops or damage. Plus, if you’re shopping for yourself, the Kids Kindle offers the same full-featured reading experience as the standard model, making it an excellent value purchase ahead of the holiday season.
