They do have good customer service. My sister-in-law broke her kindle. Completely her fault and not under warranty. They sent her a brand new one at no charge when she contacted them. Maybe the number of books she buys convinced them they’d make more money by supplying her with the means to feed her addiction for free than risking losing her as a customer.
We bought the kids edition for my stepson, and it was awesome! I decided when it’s time to replace my paperwhite, I’ll likely replace with a kids edition for the warranty/guarantee alone.
i've been binging your vids recently. can't remember how i found you but man am i glad i did. one of my new year's resolutions was to read more, i used to have an affinity for books and it's time to reignite that spark because i bought a kindle paperwhite (hehe.. pun... kindle.. reignite a spark) but this channel in the span of a week has been one of my favorites to watch.
Thank you so much, man! I’m so glad you’re enjoying the content! Really means a lot that you took the time to say that. I hope you love your kindle! The Paperwhite is my favorite model!
Hello, I just watched this video and did I understood it correctly: I still can add Ebooks from PC as in regular kindle in formats what are supported by kindle (AZW3, AZW, TXT, PDF and so on)?
I tried ordering a 16 GB Paperwhite bundle. I get a message saying it can't be delivered to my home address nor can it be delivered to a local Amazon Locker location (southern California). Very frustrating.
@ileneglenn845 No, no European version. I split my year between California and Oregon. The bundle would have been okay to ship to my Oregon address but not to my California address. By the time I returned to my Oregon address the bundle was no longer being offered. I ended up buying a really, really cheap used Kindle and trading it in on a new one. What I ended up with was not as good a deal as the bundle that I wanted but still a pretty good deal.
The kindle kids that I have didn't put me in the kids account, it directly gave me the normal kindle view also when I want to get the subscription for kids+ it says to me error😢
Like others have said, Ads will only be disable while kids mode is enabled. Also the weight/dimensions are much larger on the kids version. Kids is about 30% heavier and has a larger bezel. Paperwhite: 6.9” x 4.9” x .32” (174.2 x 124.6 x 8.1 mm) - 7.23 oz (205 g) Kids: 5.1” x 6.9” x .5” (129.2 x 175.5 x 13.5 mm) - 11.32 oz (321 g)
The differences in measurements taken literally from the Amazon page are simply due to the case. For example: Paperwhite Kids version have 321g (included case) read in the product description, so case weight: 116g 321g - 116g = 205g weight of both versions. Same for width and height.
Super helpful! Did you run into any issues with the ads populating once you'd changed it to the adult version? Dylans's comment below is confusing. Thanks much!

Wow that’s amazing!

Yes! It's such a great deal! Definitely going that route when it's time to replace my current Paperwhite as well.

I recently purchased myself a kindle kids paperwhite device. So far I love my device it's easy to travel with and navigate.
Did he come with ads when you logged into an adult account?
Thanks you for the review! Is this still current as I am looking to get my kids (age 10 and 7) their first Kindles.

Thanks so much for watching, Claude! I’m sure you will enjoy your new kindle!

Oh no! That is really strange.
We’re you ordering the European version?

Awesome video ‼️ this has definitely helped me out 💯‼️
The kindle kids that I have didn't put me in the kids account, it directly gave me the normal kindle view also when I want to get the subscription for kids+ it says to me error😢
I kind of wish I had chosen this one.
Me too!
Dylan Johns ThanksMuch!
Thank you! 😁

Am I understanding this correctly that a child can do their own parental controls by the click of one button?
I got the first Kindle a hundred years ago and just bought the kids Kindle. Better value
I hope you’re enjoying your updated kindle! Definitely the best way to go! 😁
Is it working like a normal kindle?
Looks like the kids version now has 17 LED lights.
Thank you it helps so much
Thank you for watching! I’m glad you found it helpful! 😁
Just Subscribe keep up the great content 👍

Oops - I guess the paper white always had 17 LED lights
Would the BEST Value Kindle be to try and buy a new battery for my 12 year old Kindle or just buy a new one?
Hmmm… that’s a tough one. I’m not sure how much it would be to replace a kindle battery so I can’t say. Sorry I’m not much help 😕

I did buy and attempt to install a new battery in an old Asus tablet, but I just succeeded in screwing up the touch screen.
Can i buy though every kind of book? 😅
Yes! You should be able to! 😁
