For some reason, Kindle deals have been hard to come by in the past few months, but now the tide appears to be turning. We recently highlighted several Kindle Scribe deals, but if you’re looking for something more budget-friendly, the 2022 Kindle Kids is also on sale. For the first time since Black Friday, the kid-friendly version of my favorite budget e-reader is on sale for $99.99 ($20 off) at Amazon and Best Buy. While $20 shy of the all-time low we last saw in October, it’s still one of its better prices to date.

Although the Kindle Kids is a kid-friendly e-reader, it works just as well for parents or adults without children. That’s because it’s identical to the standard ad-free Kindle in that it offers the same crisp 300ppi display, USB-C support, and long battery life. The only difference is that it comes with optional parental controls, a colorful case, and an extended two-year warranty for greater peace of mind. What makes this an even better deal is that Amazon is also throwing in a year of Amazon Kids Plus, so you can enjoy free access to games, videos, and books in the Artemis Fowl, Percy Jackson, and Harry Potter series.
