Kindle for kids5/1/2023 ![]() Kids looking for larger words can select from 6 boldness settings (including off) and 14 font sizes. You also get multiple options for standard customization settings - line spacing (3), margins (3), orientation (portrait, landscape) and alignment (center or left). Flipping through a choose-your-own-adventure style Star Wars book about Han and Chewie, I saw its illustrations appear clearly, without cause for concern.Īmazon includes 9 fonts, including its own Amazon Ember and Bookerly, as well as industry standards Helvetica and Futura. Then again, this is a device for children, who probably don't have as discerning an eye when it comes to this. When I increased the size of the font (as kids certainly will) on both a 300 ppi Kindle Oasis and the Kindle Kids Edition, I saw the former create smoother text and the latter show letters that were not as crisp. The Kindle Kids Edition's 167 pixel-per-inch resolution is good enough, but not great. We might not have liked most of the Nook GlowLight 3, but even that e-reader had less friction in its brightness adjustment. And while the three steps it takes - tapping once to open the menu bar, tapping Settings and then selecting the right brightness on a scale of 1 to 24 - may not sound like a lot of work, it would be neat to have. I only wish its front light automatically adjusted per the ambient lighting around you, as kids will need to fiddle with the settings. It still feels like a worthwhile bump here, especially for how much more reading children can accomplish when other sources of lighting aren't available.Īs I read a bit of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets in a dark room at the Tom's Guide office, I saw that it gets more than bright enough, especially when you turn its brightness up to maximum luminance. ![]() The Kindle Kids Edition features the same front light that Amazon added to the normal Kindle, which brought its price from $80 to $90. Kids don't need to turn a light on to keep reading. That front cover flap also sticks to the back of the case, making it easier to use when reading. Hopefully, this means a Kindle Kids Edition can survive even the most chaotic backpack. This set of four gives parents a solid range to find a case that their child will appreciate - or at least be indifferent to.Īside from looking cute, the cases provide protection to the still-pretty-fragile e-ink screen, as their magnetic covers require some force to open. On the back side, where the drawing continues, one of these birdies is using a small, black rectangular-shaped device that could be a Kindle or a smartphone.Īmazon's other case options are solid blue and pink designs, and the fourth is called Space Station, and has aliens and other interplanetary lifeforms, as well as a submarine and some aquatic life. Some of those avian friends are smiling, some are wearing winter accessories and one's even listening to headphones. Our test unit came with an adorable case that features a drawing of a variety of birds on telephone cable wires.
