This is the 'Kindle Kids Model' package. 'Kindle Kids Model' has three kinds of colors for the cover, ' Space Whale ', ' Unicorn Valley ' and ' Submarine ', and this time I chose 'Space Whale'.

Inside the box was the main unit, a USB-C cable, and a quick start guide.

The appearance of the Kindle kids model body looks like this. A cover with a cute whale illustration is attached to the Kindle body.

It looks like this when the cover is removed. It looks exactly like a normal Kindle.

There are no buttons on the left side when viewed from the front.

Same for the right side.

There are no buttons on the top.

The bottom has a USB Type-C connector and a power button.

Open the case to see the full view of the whale.

The actual weight is 256g.

The dimensions are 158 mm long side x 114 mm short side x 13 mm thick.

Taking it looks like this. There is a feeling of holding thanks to the plastic cover.

◆ Comparison with 'Kindle'
With the cover off, the Kindle Kids Model and the Kindle are exactly the same. When checking the main body information, both are displayed as 'Kindle (11th generation)'.

Even if you check the model number on the back of the main unit, the same number is written.

The difference between the Kindle Kids model and the Kindle is that

Amazon Kids+ is unlimited for one year.

Kindle Kids models require you to enter the child's name and date of birth after setting a parental passcode on first use.

It looks like this when the setting is completed.

I tried to display the same novel 'Kusamakura' on the Kindle kids model (left) and Kindle (right) with the size of the letters minimized. There is no difference in the size and contents of the displayed characters.

Next, I tried to display the cartoon '

Princess and Gamer '.
