You may have not wiped the ash on the Kindle for a long time, and Amazon has just launched a children’s version of the Kindle, will children love this product?

This is also the first time Amazon has launched a Kindle Kids Edition for children. Amazon has already offered the Kids Edition version on the Fire tablet, this time driving the Kids Edition on KIndle.

In addition to the look and feel, the biggest difference in the children’s version of the Kindle is the support of the FreeTime Unlimited service, a children’s subscription service launched by Amazon in 2012 that can recommend suitable books, movies and apps to children based on their age and gender. program.

Because this service works with content providers such as Disney, Marvel, Nickeloden, and PBS, there are more than 1,000 children’s books in the library, including the Harry Potter series, The Hobbit, Works such as Artemis and The Complete Chronicles of Narnia, this service has been launched on Amazon’s Fire tablet.

And Amazon’s FreeTime also allows parents to control their children’s reading and content and time on the device, and even set up to prevent children from seeing certain types of content, such as not letting their children see princess books.

In addition, this Kindle has added a new set of features designed for children, such as the Achievement Badges, which will play the game goal. You can get a badge like “Bookworm” for several days of continuous reading.

Considering the limited vocabulary of children, the children’s version of the Kindle optimizes the search function and can find the desired results without the need for precise spelling. The words that the child has searched in the dictionary will be automatically saved as a literacy card, which is convenient for children to view and learn at any time.

As for the price, the Kids Edition Kindle is priced at$109, which is $20 more expensive than the entry-level Kindle with the same hardware configuration, will be officially shipped on October 30th.

If you are a parent, would you buy a children’s Kindle for your child? The Verge Thinking that the price of this device is reasonable but not very cost-effective, the biggest problem is hardware, the display is better and the waterproof Paperwhite price is only $129, maybe even the more advanced version of the Kindle The edition will be a better choice.

Under the question “Amazon launches the children’s version of the Kindle, will you buy it?” The answer to the praise is not to mention the same problem, that is, children’s books are mostly colored multi-picture books, and even KIndle, which supports color, is not suitable for viewing pictures.

The Kindle is not suitable for viewing pictures even in color, and the degree of reflection, color, and texture are not good. It’s like going to the museum to see the difference between the original and the printed album.

The market performance of this children’s Kindle is still unknown, but Amazon is obviously a user who wants to expand software services through hardware. For example, Amazon Prime members subscribe to FreeTime Unlimited at a price 2-3. Dollar.

This is even more obvious with another device launched with the Kids Kindle, which released a new FireHD 10 tablet, running 30% faster, battery life increased from 10 hours to 12 hours, first introduced USB-C interface And support fast charge.
