Amazon FreeTime (coming next month, according to this page) is the most interesting piece for me - customized child safety settings for each child, with monthly subscriptions at $2.99 for children's TV shows.
It seems like Amazon recognized the popularity of streaming services for parents of young kids and is setting this up just for them...
- j_s 12y agoKindle FreeTime Unlimited is available now. http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?&docId=1000863021 http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?&docId=1000863021
- jyap 12y agoUgh it's $2.99 a month if you have Amazon Prime. Otherwise it's $4.99 month. That kinda changes the deal since $4.99 a month gets you closer in cost to other services.
- mkempe 12y agoThat is incredible. Makes me consider buying a Kindle Fire for my daughter (age 5) instead of letting her use a legacy iPad when my wife upgrades her iPad 2.

- mkempe 12y agoFurther, the voice-driven interface is an interesting feature for young kids. Soon they'll expect to be able to talk to every machine in the house.
