    The Kindle Kids is the smaller version of the e-reader. It features a 6-inch, black-and-white, glare-free 167 ppi display. It can connect to Bluetooth headphones or speakers and has long battery life, able to last weeks on a single charge. Although it’s the cheaper option, it still gives your child access to thousands of books. If your kid is going to be primarily reading indoors, this may be the better deal. It lacks certain features, including being waterproof and having adjustable screen warmth, but those features are generally less important if you’re not outside.

    Of the two ebook readers, the Kindle Paperwhite Kids is the larger option. It features a 6.8-inch, black-and-white, glare-free, 300 ppi display. Adjustable warm light allows for easy reading indoors and out, day or night. It’s IPX8-rated waterproof and can handle accidental submersion in water, so it’s safe to carry for reading at the beach or poolside. This e-reader also gets up to 10 weeks of battery life per charge. And if your young reader struggles with dyslexia, this Kindle offers OpenDyslexic, a specialized font that can help make reading easier. If your child is an avid reader who likes to travel with their Kindle, this may be the better option.
