Oddly, from my end the kids version is ridiculously compelling. Especially if it really has a "no questions asked" replacement policy.

Of course, our non eink kindles spend the majority of their time in freetime for the kids. With "unlimited," I have a hard time warming up to any other offering.

My daughter has had an iPad available to her for 3 years now and she's never managed to break it, although we are careful with it. It's all about the apps. You can take a look in iTunes to see the many wonderful children apps, compare that with the Amazon App store before you decide. There's just no comparison in my opinion.

We've only broken one. And, at the cost it wasn't a huge deal to replace it. Still, is a nice lure.

And I've never actually browsed the Amazon App store. I have flipped through all of the apps available in Freetime Unlimited. To say there are a lot of apps there would be understating it. Sure, many are probably not that good. On the flip side, none of them have in app purchases.

I am curious if there are any that truly aren't in both ecosystems.
