Amazon has reduced the price of its Kindle Kids Edition by £30 as part of its Last Minute Christmas Deals event. The device, which launched in October 2019, is now available for £69.99, down from its usual £99.99.
The Kindle Kids Edition is designed specifically for children, with no access to the internet or social media, ensuring a distraction-free reading experience. It comes with a brightly coloured blue or pink protective case and a two-year 'worry free' guarantee, allowing for a free replacement if the device is lost or damaged within that period.
The package includes a one-year subscription to Amazon Fire for Kids, the child-friendly version of the Kindle book store, offering thousands of age-appropriate books. Additional titles can be purchased from the Amazon Kindle store. The device also features Word Wise and Vocabulary Builder functions to help children improve their reading skills, with badges awarded for achievements.
Parents can monitor their child's reading progress and daily accomplishments via the Amazon parent dashboard. Alongside the Kindle Kids Edition, Amazon has also launched an updated Fire HD 10 tablet as part of its children's range, described as the largest and fastest tablet for kids the company has made.
In a separate promotion, Amazon is offering UK music lovers three months of Amazon Music Unlimited for free, a saving of £19.98, in celebration of the Brit Awards. This offer is available to new customers and does not require a Prime membership.
