Piercing little girl's ears?

Nook/Kindle

Posted 01/24/2013

I'm hoping to get some recommendations.  Our 6 year old LOVES reading and has gone through most of her library.  I have a lot of books that I've been saving since I was younger but although she CAN read a lot of them, they're not quite appropriate for a child her age.  I'd like to get her a Nook/Kindle/tablet SOLELY for reading, no games.  Buying tons of books is getting a little ridiculous, and our local library is very small.  School sends home Boxcar books as homework but she's burned through them already. 

We have an iPad but I want something that has no access to games, it would only be hers, and only for reading.

I would get her the Kindle. I have a Kindle (the original) and I love it and so does my 6 yo. She reads books on it all the time and you can get a lot of books for free. If you are on Facebook there are all kinds of pages you can like that post links to free books and quite a few of them are kids books.

I recommend the Kindle as well. I've had both the nook and kindle and the kindle is my favorite.

My son has a Kindle Fire.  I haven't found a way to block the games.  But he has a lot of learning games on it--and he still reads a ton of books on it and the old fashioned kind.

What educational games do you recommend? My dd has her own kindle, mostly with books, but she does have a couple games. Hoping to find some that will actually benefit her.. Thanks!

We did puzzle games to help him problem solve. We also downloaded a piano app-he loves it, it shows him the keys for songs. I also like word games and math riddles. I don't know the names...I just searched the apps for math, puzzles, words and found some.

My daughter has a Kindle Fire HD for reading & games but she's 7 years old and still loves to read! I suggest getting the child a Kindle Fire HD, she'll just love it!

We ended up going with a Kindle Paperwhite. It ONLY has books. She loves it! She uses the iPad for games but we have to limit her time on it, she could waste 12 hours on it.
