SAVE $40: As of May 9, the Kindle Paperwhite Kids is on sale for just $139.99 at Amazon instead of $179.99. That’s 22% in savings and matches its lowest price on record.
Kids love screens and there’s no denying it. Rather than eliminating them altogether, why not try making their screen time more productive? The Kindle Paperwhite Kids is still a screen, but it’s a screen you can feel good about, as it’s packed only with kid-friendly books. No notifications, apps, videos, or games — just stories. And for a limited time, you can snag one on sale.
As of May 9, the Kindle Paperwhite Kids is down to just $139.99 from $179.99 at Amazon. That’s a saving of 22% and matches its best price ever, which it reached for the first time around Black Friday 2024.
A step up from the basic Kindle Kids device, the Kindle Paperwhite Kids is our favorite option for little readers. The newest version was released in October and comes in its thinnest, fastest form yet — as well as a variety of new designs. The seven-inch display also packs a higher contrast ratio and 25 percent faster page turns than its predecessor, which help to keep kids engaged in the content.
Like previous models, it’s also waterproof, packed with built-in parental controls, and comes with a two-year worry-free guarantee. It has a heftier build than the adult Kindle Paperwhite, which makes for a sturdier design that can withstand just about anything kids throw at it (within reason). But if anything does happen to it within the first two years, Amazon will replace it.

We’re also big fans of Amazon Kids+, which is loaded with tons of age-appropriate books. Your Kindle Paperwhite Kids purchase will come with a free six-month subscription to get started. Afterwards, it’ll cost $5.99 per month, so that $40 in savings on the device itself will certainly come in handy.
