We got my 8.5 yr old dd a kindle paperwhite during that last kindle sale. She is loving the free time on it.
It is password protected, so she can only read what books I put in there for her. It charts her progress, gives her a daily goal, tells her how far past the daily goal she reads and tells her the length of reading each day, and what she averages at each sitting.
She he is making a vocab list and loves looking words up, and she loves how,she earns different accomplishments based on how much she's reading. She also likes when we exit her from free time and she gets to browse books.
She's a big reader, so she really enjoys the features. She also doesn't have an ipad, so for her this is like her first electronic device that looks like an ipad. She has started carrying a purse so she can carry the kindle around with her. I've told her she can read one book on the kindle and then one book from the library, back and forth (our Cnd library isn't great for ebooks yet), so she keeps burning through the real books so she can read on her kindle.
Great purchase with great incentive software. And of course, I wouldn't have known about that kindle sale if it wasn't for the peas
. If you were on the fence about giving a young reader a paperwhite I'd go for it, we're really happy with how it's working out.
