Don’t let the name fool you.

Kids’ Kindles are essentially full-featured Kindles in a cute disguise. Same screen, same storage, same reading experience, but all for a lower cost. Plus, they come with a few bonuses adults don’t even get.

Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days (Oct. 7 through Oct. 8) is one of the best chances all year to grab deep discounts on the hottest tech of the year, before the holiday rush. And honestly, a Kindle makes a perfect gift, whether it’s for your bookworm kiddo, or that person who accidentally left theirs on the train (me, honestly).

But you don’t have to wait until next week if you don’t want to, because Kids’ Kindles are marked down to just $95 as an early Prime Day deal.

Here’s the kicker: the Kids’ Kindle isn’t any less functional than the standard device. It’s not dimmer, not smaller, or slower. It’s just a Kindle with an extra year of warranty, a durable kiddie case, and a full year of Amazon Kids+, which unlocks thousands of age-appropriate books and graphic novels. By the way, if you’re an adult, just treat it like a regular Kindle and read away.

The Amazon Kindle Kids 16GB is currently 27% off ahead of Prime Day and comes packed with features designed specifically for children. The Parent Dashboard lets you easily add books from your account to your child’s library, monitor reading progress, adjust age filters, and even set device bedtimes. It also includes a two-year worry-free guarantee, providing peace of mind in case of accidental drops or damage. Plus, if you’re shopping for yourself, the Kids Kindle offers the same full-featured reading experience as the standard model, making it an excellent value purchase ahead of the holiday season.

Prime Day is Amazon’s biggest sale of the year, offering deep discounts on bestsellers and everyday essentials. This year’s event runs from Tuesday, June 23 at 3 a.m. ET through Saturday, June 27at 3 a.m. ET.

This year, shoppers can take advantage of four days of Prime Day deals: Tuesday, June 23 at 3 a.m. ET through Saturday, June 27at 3 a.m. ET.

In addition to pushing up the sale to June, Amazon is including several new programs and promotions, including:

Prime Day and all its amazing discounts are exclusively available to Prime members. However interested shoppers can grab a 30-day free trial to try Prime, and its many benefits with no strings attached, and gain access to exclusive deals and the convenience of fast, free shipping.

From reporting on Amazon sales for years, we can tell you for certain that Prime Day is the ideal time to stock up on beauty and skincare staples, score big-ticket tech for less, bestselling vacuums, and comb through the massive catalog of Amazon best-sellers. Plus, since this year’s sale runs before the Fourth of July Americana-themed deals and summer hosting essentials.

We certainly think so! Prime Day is a great chance to score deals on thousands of best-sellers, top tech and appliances and every day essentials. Our team diligently sorts through all the offers to find you only the very best items to grab on sale.
