Our son likes to play his computer games and watch his cartoons on our laptop but when we go on trips he cant do either on a laptop and some people at work said that this is a good alternative for travel and portability. Does anyone have this or something similar for the kids to use?

We just got one, haven't used it yet. Giving it to the kids on Xmas. Any advice on apps and such is also welcome in this review.

my 11 year loves to read so looking to get her one next year. She is getting a laptop this year. Times now are expensive.

my ex has a kindle and the 6 year old loves it

she also has her sisters old iphone so i thought the kindle would bore her but she loves reading

i cant say enough how much a parent with a kid less than 10 should be on the lookout for old iphones from friends and family who dont need theirs anymore..especially the old iphones. u just use them as ipod touch with movies/shows and apps with no monthly cost.

13, 11, and 7. The 11 year old reads, so we are hoping that he will use it for a reading device. But they all steal our iphones to play games too. We didn't buy it, it just kind of fell into our laps from a friend and a company xmas raffle.

My 4 yr old son love to play his leapster. They have some pretty cool and educational games.

I was debating on this or the ipad2 for my wife, so glad I got the ipad2, fire's getting some bad reviews now that its been out a while. I would hold out, get another tablet if you can't afford an ipad

"Kindle Fire feels the heat
Early buyers of Amazon's tablet-like e-reader, the Kindle Fire, are beginning to find what many had feared: it's not really a tablet computer at all.

These early adopters are running into an experience that is often clunky, a touchscreen that isn't super responsive, a Web browser that struggles on many websites and head-scratching hardware omissions. (There are no volume buttons.)"

Free makes this a non-issue...
