[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there a reason you can't use a paperwhite (maybe picture books not available)? I believe there are also settings on the Fire (Freetime?) that can limit to only books...[/quote]

Most of the children's books are incompatible with the paperwhites; yes, it's because of the illustrations.[/quote]

Got it-- then, OP, do the Freetime controls. I had/have a Fire for myself and brought it on a 3-week trip to Asia with my 3 yo. She still has no "screen time" per se-- except for Skype and apparently e-books when necessary. Well, this was necessary. We read 10-15 books per day and couldn't have brought more than about 5 on the plane d/t space restrictions, so I got Freetime for the month. If I recall correctly, w/Freetime you can specifically restrict the tablet to whatever you have preapproved-- I read this as OP's DS, but with DH's consent, it can work the same way. I restricted to only certain books, although I'm not sure I had to worry, since I never handed it off completely to my DD anyway. Good luck-- there is literally an app for this.[/quote]
