SAVE AN EXTRA $20: For Black Friday, Amazon has the Kindle Paperwhite Kids on sale for just $134.99 (reg. $179.99). Plus, when you buy two, you can save an extra $20.
Amazon always uses major shopping holidays like Black Friday as an excuse to discount its own devices. Kindles, in particular, tend to see the best deals of the year during Black Friday — and this year is no different. If you’re looking for a gift for kids that you can feel good about, the Kindle Paperwhite Kids is on sale for a record-low price.
As of Nov. 28, aka Black Friday, the Kindle Paperwhite Kids is down to just $134.99 at Amazon. That’s $45 off its list price and the lowest price to date, according to our favorite price-tracking tool. Plus, when you buy two, you’ll save another $20. Just add two devices to your cart and the extra $20 discount will be auto-applied at checkout (see here for details).
Mashable’s e-reader expert thinks the Paperwhite Kids is the best Kindle for kids, thanks enormously to it being waterproof. The regular Kindle Kids is not, which is a dealbreaker if you have a clumsy kid. The Paperwhite Kids stands up to everything from juice spills to dips in the pool. Plus, it comes with a built-in case.
Beyond being near-indestructible, it’s also designed with built-in parental controls so parents can keep an eye on their kid’s bookshelf, approve or disapprove downloads, adjust age filters, and set a device bedtime. It’s loaded with age-friendly titles that are easily accessible for kids and even comes with six months of Amazon Kids+. Not to mention, it doesn’t have ads, notifications, or the temptation of games and videos. It’s purely made to help kids build healthy reading habits and cut back on YouTube.
