If you're looking to buy a tablet for your precocious 8-year-old, then now is a good time to do so, as Amazon's 6-inch variant of the Fire HD Kids Edition tablet is now on sale.
The e-retailer is offering a hefty discount on the Fire HD Kids Edition tablet, which comes in two display sizes — 6 inches and 7 inches. The offer, however, is only for the 6-inch variant of the device — both the 16 GB and 8 GB versions.
The Fire HD Kids Edition tablet is ideal for children, as it is not only reasonably priced but also child proof! Regularly, the 8 GB variant tablet costs $149. However, thanks to the Amazon promo, one can snag the device for $99.99, which is a savings of $50. The 16 GB version costs $169 but is now $50 cheaper as well.
The 6-inch variant of the Fire HD Kids Edition sports a Gorilla Glass display with HD touchscreen and a resolution of 1,280 x 800 pixels. The attractive-looking tablet is quite sturdy and houses a quad-core processor and 1 GB of RAM under the hood. The device also supports 720p videos and has a 2-megapixel primary camera and a VGA front-facing camera.
The device also offers 8 GB/16 GB of on-board storage, which can be expanded to a maximum of 128 GB via the microSD card slot. The tablet supports Bluetooth, and its battery life is approximately 8 hours. The 6-inch Fire HD Kids Edition gets 100 percent recharged in 6 hours.
The tablet weighs just 360 grams, and it offers support for a maximum of four profiles, which means one can personalize the Fire HD Kids Edition for four kids. The navigation buttons have been purposely designed to be big so that a child finds it easier to browse for content.
The FreeTime Unlimited feature the device comes with a year's worth of the service free. The FreeTime Unlimited service basically gives one access to over 10,000 books, TV shows, games, movies and apps that are suitable for kids.
The parental controls the tablet boasts of are touted as the "best-in-class," which would ease many parents. Moreover, possibly the best aspect of the tablet — apart from its affordability — is that it comes with a 2-year guarantee. This is a "no questions asked" warranty, which means that in the event the tablet gets damaged during the time window, Amazon replaces it free of charge.
To take advantage of the limited period offer on the 6-inch Fire HD Kids Edition tablet, purchase the blue variant of the tablet for $99.99 (8 GB) at Amazon. The green color for the 16 GB model is also discounted but is slightly higher at $119.99.
