Amazon launches Kindle subscription service for kids

Kindle FreeTime Unlimited

Personally, I’d never had over my iPad (at least not unsupervised) to a toddler or young child, but Amazon is launching a Kindle Fire subscription services geared toward the 3–8 year olds. Kindle FreeTime Unlimited is a $4.99 subscription service that offers thousands of age-appropriate books, movies, TV shows, games and educational apps. The app also gives parents time-controls for each type of content.

From Robot6:

The service, included as a free trial on every new Kindle Fire, debuts with a library that includes the Disney-released Marvel picture books, Warner Bros. Consumer Products-produced DC Comics apps, Lincoln Peirce’s Big Nate, Bill Amend’s FoxTrot, Mark Tatulli’s Lio, and Graphic Universe’s “Graphic Myths & Legends, Sherlock Holmes and ”Manga Math Mysteries" series. Presumably we’ll see more kids’ comics as the rollout continues.

One thought on “Amazon launches Kindle subscription service for kids

  1. My daughter, yes. My nephew, no. I think it depends on the kid. Tablets will become some commonplace that it won’t be that big of a deal. Look for the Fisher Price Kindle.
