A few hours ago Amazon showed us some new packages for the smallest of the house. These packages are called Kindle for kids and mainly sell Kindle eReaders.
The price of these packages is $ 99, so many of us have wondered Why these packages and not a normal Kindle? The price of kindle for kids is because in addition to the Kindle, the package includes a colored cover, to animate the eReader to children and two-year insurance for drops and spills that the eReader may suffer.
Since the Kindle is intended for children or so it should be, the most logical thing is that we hire or have insurance for this type of accident, something common if a small one is introduced into the equation.
Kindle for kids includes bump and spill lock as well as a colored casing
The kindle that Amazon includes in Kindle for Kids is the basic Kindle Touch, a fairly basic eReader but ideal for children since on the one hand it accepts the software news that Amazon has included in recent months and on the other hand it is an affordable device for all. In addition, this eReader will be slightly modified so that it does not have any advertising or advertisement, something that I see positive since this eReader will be focused on children.
At the moment Kindle For kids will be destined for the US market and that explains why such a package is launched on these dates and not in September, since it is around these dates when many begin to prepare the new school year.
The fact is that Kindle for kids is an economical package, although the 99 dollars is far from the cheap price, the fact of having a two-year insurance and a colored casing means that if we bought it separately, the price would be higher. . I personally value it positively and it is a pity that it is only sold in the United States, now it is still an advertising ploy to have more customers and to sell more units of a basic eReader.
I think that a child has to read on eReader but they must also know the book, not to use it regularly, but to interbreed with new technologies. In a time like childhood, learning prevails and interspersing the formats is the best way to learn. Even so, I hope that soon Amazon will take these packages to other countries, such as Spain.
