For my teen: Is there a Kindle ONLY for books (no movies/internet)?

| I think my DS would like a Kindle for Christmas. He already has a smart phone, so I do not want to give him another electronic device with internet access, nor do I want him to be able to sit in his room and watch movies at all hours by himself. I just want him to be able to download books (and newspapers/magazines). Do they still make models that do that, and only that? Which is the best one to get? TIA. |

| The $79 model has "special offers" and ads. The $109 does not. I believe the one that is $109 is pretty much the one that used to be $139. Can connect to the internet to download content using your own wi-fi, but not for web browsing. I have it and use it every day for reading and crossword puzzles. |

The Nook e-reader.

| The Nook can be hacked by an enterprising teen or tween and turned into a web enabled Android tablet. The Kindle cannot. |

| Yep - anything below the Kindle Fire - and then get the wi-fi only version to make what little browsing capabilities there are even more painful to use. |

| I have the one with 3G and the browsing is still pretty limited..you can but you wouldn't want to much..definitely no movies. Fine when stuck in the airport with nothing else. |
