I have the Kindle and love it. I read allot and it is great. The books are downloaded to the Kindle, don't have to go to the store to get. Plus,
there is a Kindle app that can be put on the computer (laptop) and the books can be read from there. The other thing I like, if my eyes are tired but
it is a really good book, the Kindle will read the book to you. (The book has to have an audio format for this to be done, when I get a book I
usually download the one with this feature on it, it does not cost anymore than if you bought without the audio part.) It is a great device, I have
had mine over a year, and of course after I bought the price went down. It is well worth the money. Not sure how old you child is, it is not
something I would give to a child under 13 unless that child takes really good care of their things. Even 13 might be to young. The device is
awesome but it is not sturdy like a tablet. Anyway, this is my advice. BTW, anyone who receives as a gift will love it.
