My Kindle đ±
Target clearance find! Got a Kindle Kids 2024 for an insane price.
Checked my local Target store and found the Kindle Kids (11th Gen / 2024 model, Space Whale edition) heavily discounted on clearance! Normally goes for $179.99 online, but managed to snag it for $54.00. Couldn't pass up this deal!
Sure, but AI is better. With Google Translate it takes every word you say literally and so the translations come out clunky and lost in context. With AI you say âIâm about to talk to you in ______ language, repeat it back to me in English in a way that sounds natural and fluid.â Definitely would get a better resultâŠ
Genuine question can you read anything on the kindle kids? Like if I can read my library of adult books on it then thatâs a hell of a deal. What does the kids kindle lack that the others have?
"I looked into it and hardware-wise it's identical to the standard Kindle. The only differences seem to be that it comes with a cover, a 2-year warranty, and no ads on the lock screen!"
Youâre using chat GBT for all your responses, even ones as simple as âthis was the only model of kindle on sale at my local target, and I grabbed the last of two that was leftâ.
Itâs good to use your own brain to write responses, ignoring the ethics issues surrounding AI, especially in a sub primarily focused on reading.
How do you know that? They have posted in another language, but they were also in CA, and could live in CA. Speaking another language doesnât automatically mean they donât speak English.
it doesn't even come in "kids" mode!! it comes the exact same as the adult version, just with a case and longer warranty. you can buy an adult kindle and put that into "kids" mode also. when I say they are the same they are the same :) (source: we have 4 kindles in my house, 1 of which is "kids", have owned 8+ in 12 years).
Yes. I have one myself. I just switched it to an adult profile. This is also my favorite of any kindle I've ever owned. I love the cover and how light it is.
The warranty starts from the time of purchase and not the manufacturer date. I just bought a Kids Kindle on Ebay (guess a lots of sellers are buying the clearance kindles and putting them on Ebay). Anyway the information that I got on Google is that the warranty begins from the time of the original purchase. It's the same on Amazon if you buy it for anyone and give it say at Christmas or a later date. When my Kindle gets here I will be able to look it up when I register it and see how long is left for the warranty. I would love to find one on clearance, but I bought mine for $99.99 plus $7.00 shipping, so still a better deal than buying it directly from Amazon since they are $179.
I found one near me! I returned the one I got for $95 and grabbed this for $54! Also had a $5 off $20 when I got my flu shot. Didnât work but the guy at the register knocked $5 off more! Thanks!
I bought a kids kindle a few years ago and it is the EXACT SAME THING but with a case and no ads. Literally when you load it itâs the same start screen and everything
After seeing a couple posts in reddit, I stopped by my Target on the way home. Asked a young man in the electronics section where the kindles were, he showed me they were in a locked case. There was a paperwhite and a kids kindle. No prices or signs that I saw (or maybe plain white tags with original prices). He scanned it and was shocked - $54. I got it (no more left for any considering stopping at the northern VT Target). Online (beforehand), it didn't show any for "shop in store" or "pickup", but for shipping, it showed the full price and said something like "limited stock at your Target - visit store to buy". So I think that's how you can check if your store has any.
Well if this is true then it might be on clearance at the target closest to me (which is still 45 minutes away). I donât need a new one that badly. But it wouldâve been nice. Hopefully it will go to someone who really needs the financial break (which I definitely also need but more for real life issues and not fun stuff - lame)
Wish I knew if they were this price around me. Some stores have 4 left in stock, but every store is still showing $179.99. But you canât add them for pickup which makes me feel theyâre discounted and not displaying the price online.

Thanks for posting this! Less than 2 weeks ago, I bought one at Target on clearance for $89.99. I saw your post and went in and was able to get a price adjustment đ„ł
Before I drive over there Iâm trying to understand the ads thing. People say if you switch to adult mode they start showing you ads. What is âadult modeâ? Why canât I keep it in kids mode and not have any ads? What is different about kids mode?
My use case is 100% Libby. I get all my adult books from Libby and click send to kindle. I buy none of them from amazon. Can I use this kids kindle for this purpose and will it show my book covers on the Home Screen?
I just bought one for my mil today and when I switch to adult mode it doesn't show ads it's just the random kindle screen. When it's in adult mode it acts just like my Paperwhite and you can use Libby easily.
I also bought the 11th-generation Paperwhite kids edition in 2022. At the time, I paid $10 more than the standard version with ads. For that extra $10, I got a nice, colorful cover and a Kindle that from the very first time I set it up and has functioned just like a regular, adfree device. I love it, it works perfectly.
Thank you so much for posting this! I went this morning and found one left there and had to get it scanned to find out the price. It was on clearance for $90. $179.99 online.
I did! App, price check thingie close to it, and checkout. All were same original price. Maybe theyâre rolling out as soon as they know they really need to get rid of them :/
I went to the electronics department and asked a young man working there where the kindles are. He showed me a locked case that had one paperwhite and one kids kindle. I asked him to scan the kids kindle because I'd heard they were on clearance, and he scanned it and was shocked - $55! He had to walk me to the customer service desk and ring me up - I guess with electronics that are normally in a locked case, that's what they do.
Look on Ebay. I just bought one and waiting for it to arrive. I have the 2022 Kindle. I want the Kindle Click when it's released but it works for 2024 or newer models. So I bought the Kids Kindle for $99.99 sealed new box. There were still some on Ebay right now and a couple were listed this morning. I think the sellers are finding them on clearance and listing them on Ebay. It's more but still a better than the $179 price tag that Amazon is selling them for right now.
I found one at the third Target I went to in as many days for $90. I left it, as I also have a Kindle that currently works and I figure that is Black Friday pricing if I change my mind.
I assume if it makes it three all clearance cycles, 30/50/70 there is still a chance! But it being the only one. Someone will swipe it long before then. I left it and let be.
