I have recently found out about Kindle for Kids - because I have an Amazon Prime account, I can activate this on my Kindle and my 8yo can read basically any children's book for free. She loves it and I love it as she is reading so much, whilst feeling like she is having screen time. Win win.
I had lent my old 5th generation Kindle to a friend, who doesn't need it any more and gave it back to me - perfect, thought I, to give to said eight year old.
Annoyingly, Kindle for Kids is not supported on the 5the gen. It has to be a paperwhite or later.
I don't suppose anyone has an older paperwhite Kindle knocking around that they would like to get rid of, or even part-ex for my 5th gen, to keep as a backup / beach / bath / whatever device? Heartwarming knowledge of encouraging a child to read will be included as part of the deal!
