Fire Kids Edition tablets are built from the ground up to offer the content kids love and the award-winning parental controls parents trust. We're thrilled that customers have chosen us to be the #1 kids tablet in the U.S., said Kurt Beidler, Director of Kids & Family, Amazon.

The all-new Fire HD 8 Kids Edition offers all the features families love, plus adds kid-friendly Audible books and Spanish language content, and a new FreeTime design that makes it even easier for kids to discover and enjoy new content.

Even More Content Kids Love, Now Easier to Navigate

The all-new Fire HD 8 Kids Edition introduces a new design in FreeTime with dedicated rows based on content type, making it even easier for kids to find their favorite titles. With Amazon FreeTime Unlimited, kids have access to premium, age-appropriate books, videos, educational apps, and games, including new and popular titles, such as Goodnight Moon, Hot Wheels Race Off, Olaf's Summer Dream, Tumble Leaf, Team Umizoomi: Math Racer, and the complete Harry Potter book series, from brands like Disney, Nickelodeon, Amazon Studios, HarperCollins, and Pottermore. All of the content is kid-friendly, age-appropriate, and hand-selected by the Amazon FreeTime team with new titles added regularly.

Amazon FreeTime Unlimited is also expanding to include over 1,000 kid-friendly Audible books, including popular titles like Peter Pan, Rip Van Winkle, Beauty and the Beast, and Snow Queen. On Fire tablets, parents can also add additional Audible books to their child's FreeTime profile via the settings on their child's devices, or remotely via Parent Dashboard.
