All that for $20 less than the adult" version is a no-brainer.
The cases for these models are obviously tailored for kids, but it's hard to argue with free. The Amazon Kindle Kids + subscription will charge you automatically after the first six months, but you can cancel it beforehand. On these Kindle models, the kids' mode feature is turned on by default. You can easily turn it off in the settings, but this will bring the ads back to the lock screen-the Kindle Kids also has some cool features even adults will appreciate, like the awards feature, as this video explains.
With the six months of Amazon Kindle Kids + subscription, you can get unlimited access to thousands of kids' books, including all of the Harry Potter series. The Paperwhite Kindle hardware is the same as the adults', including that it's waterproof, has adjustable warm light, a 12-week battery, and Audible access through Bluetooth.
