If
you’re
looking
for
an
alternative
to
traditional
tablets
for
your
kid,
perhaps
you
should
consider
an
ebook
reader.
The
Kindle
Paperwhite
Kids
—
which
is
essentially
identical
to
the
standard
Paperwhite
but
with
a
couple
of
added
freebies
—
would
be
a
great
place
to
start.
It’s
now
on
sale
at
Amazon
for
$114.99
($55
off)
with
a
playfully
designed
magnetic
protective
case
in
either
dark
and
light
green
or
yellow
and
purple.
That’s
only
$5
more
than
the
all-time
low
that
was
established
this
time
last
year.
You
can
also
get
it
with
a
forest
green
and
orange
“warrior
cats”
case
for
$124.99
($55
off).
The
Kindle
Paperwhite
is
one
of
the
most
economical
ways
to
acquire
and
store
books
from
both
a
monetary
and
space-saving
standpoint.
Its
16GB
of
storage
holds
thousands
of
digital
titles
in
a
slim
rectangular
form
factor.
Adding
to
the
value
of
today’s
deal,
each
Paperwhite
Kids
includes
a
year
of
Amazon
Kids
Plus.
Usually
$5.99
a
month,
the
subscription
lets
you
load
up
thousands
of
age-appropriate
titles
from
a
constantly
evolving
library,
including
the
full
Harry
Potter
series,
Disney’s
Inside
Out,
and
more.
Unlike
a
tablet,
the
Paperwhite’s
functionality
is
limited
by
software
that’s
purely
designed
for
reading.
And
while
its
6.8-inch
E
Ink
display
lacks
color
for
making
illustrated
children’s
books
pop,
it’s
an
ideal
reading
device
because
of
its
temperature-adjustable
backlight.
It
means
you
can
easily
banish
eye-straining
blue
light
from
their
bedtime
reading
routine.
E
Ink
is
also
a
battery
sipper
compared
to
traditional
display
tech,
which
is
mostly
what
helps
the
Paperwhite
achieve
a
phenomenal
10
days
per
charge.
The
device
is
rated
for
IPX8
water
resistance,
too,
to
further
protect
it
from
a
kid’s
inherent
clumsiness.
