Amazon targets UK parents with its kid-friendly Fire tablet

Over half of UK households now own a tablet, which is no surprise given how popular the devices are with children. Amazon seems to have noticed the trend and will soon be launching its Fire HD Kids Edition tablet in response. It’ll be available from June 18th, with either 8GB of storage for £119 or 16GB for £139. The slate is essentially Amazon’s cheap Fire HD 6 tablet in disguise — a colourful “kid-proof” case, which protects it from drops and knocks, is wrapped around the outside for an easy grip. It comes with 12 months of Fire for Kids Unlimited, a subscription service with educational apps, books, videos and games. The tablet also offers “screen time limits,” which lets parents control how long their child can spend consuming specific types of content. All of these software and hardware tweaks are then complimented by Amazon’s fairly generous two-year guarantee. The deal means that Amazon will happily replace your tablet should it break — no questions asked.
