I’ve seen so many reviewers say they wish that there were more books, games and activities that would allow children to use a Kindle easily. The bestselling e-reader has mostly catered to adults in the past.
The good news is that now, there are a lot of apps and games designed with kids in mind. They are both educational and fun. You’ll find a growing collection of interactive fiction available for the Kindle. I’m sure parents will be very happy to see that there are games that are great for keeping kids occupied in the doctor’s waiting room or on long car rides.
Interactive fiction gives the story to the readers so that they can determine what direction it will go. As you go through the book, it will ask you questions that impacts how the book will end. In some of the books, you can even choose the character and setting. A few examples of interactive fiction titles available on the e-reader include The Little Stick that Could, the Fighting Fantasy series, and the Choice of Games series. More details on Kindle apps can be found on the Kindle App review blog.
The 4th generation Kindle is perfect for kids because of its reasonable price, and it is basic enough for them to grasp. The user interface is primarily navigated with just one button. The keyboard is virtual, which makes the Kindle so much smaller and lightweight. The Kindle 4 holds about half the amount of storage that the rest of the Kindle models do, but it has access to unlimited cloud storage on Amazon. It makes a great introductory e-reader.

I’ve heard several people say that they are going to buy a Kindle for their kids this Christmas. This is a great opportunity to steer kids away from TV and video games, and towards reading. There are a ton of children’s books, old and new, available to choose from. I hope Charlotte’s Web will be added to the list sometime in the near future!
