The funny thing is my wife has an iPad through work but hates the thing. Part of the problem is that they have it locked down so it's really difficult to add apps or do much. She has an older regular Kindle Touch that she reads on all the time but has mentioned several times that it would be nice to have something with a backlight so she can read when it's dark. That's why I went with the Fire.

I think I'm going to go with the Kindle Fire. I like the lockdown options that I have plus for $4.99 a month...she can get unlimited access to kids books, movies and games.
Thanks guys. |

Get an android tablet. Ipads suck because of the price you have to pay for the hardware you receive, and they dont have expandable storage. The Fires suck because they are LOADED with garbage you dont need leaving you very little storage space to work with and you cant add additional storage on them either...plus, like you said the Amazon app store is garbage.

My 6 year old has had a Kindle 7 HD since last Christmas and she loves it. I don't find it as intuitive as the iPad but she doesn't have any problem. She was on our iPads for a year prior and an iTouch since about 20 months.
Wife just received a Kindle HDX 6 as a gift last night for working on the Amazon account. We'll probably give the 6 year old the HDX 6 and the 2 year old the 7 HD. |

I've trained my daughter to use headphones, so we never hear her content, which is so cool. Netflix is a life saver as well. She watches Pokemon, Digimon, Super Mario Brothers, My Little Pony, Mickey Mouse and more, without taking up a TV. The main reason we're giving her the six is because it's got a camera and she's all into taking pictures and filming her puppet shows with an old point and shoot. |
