If you're wondering what it is about the Kindle Paperwhite Kids that makes it our favorite pick for youngsters, Mashable's Samantha Mangino says in our roundup of the best Kindles that "More than anything else, a Kindle for kids has to be waterproof, which is why the Kindle Paperwhite Kids is the best choice." That's certainly not all, though. Mangino also notes that, "what makes it great for kids is that it's a distraction-free device. It doesn't come with ads, notifications, or the temptation of games or video."

This model also comes with 16GB of storage, which is plenty of space for a younger reader to start loading up their favorite digital books. And alongside its waterproof build and distraction-free design, its 7-inch Paperwhite display is also glare-free and comes with an adjustable warm light. So, no matter if they're reading outside or before bed, the screen won't be hard on their eyes.
