It took me a while to even notice the tiny power button on the bottom edge, right alongside the USB-C charging port. All interactions are through that display, which is recessed slightly in a way that further discourages nicks and scratches. The super-simple Kindle design makes perfect sense in the hands of a kid, with no page-turning buttons to get jammed up by slobber and cookie gunk. At 256g (including the cover), it weighs just a little more than a large smartphone, which feels like nothing at all spread over a larger surface area. Obviously it’s much wider at 108.6mm, with an aspect ratio that’s intended to mimic a page out of a paperback. ![]() At 157.8mm, it’s not much taller than an iPhone 14. It’s very compact for an e-reader, with a shorter height than many current phones. ![]() What was easily wieldable by a single adult hand in the Kindle (2022) remains easy to wield in two here. That makes even more sense packaged up in this Kids version, where the hands holding it will be on the petite side. This screen is still a fairly compact 6 inches in size, like its predecessor. This feature alone is a good reason to upgrade from the 2019 model and its (comparatively) fuzzy 167 PPI screen. The biggest and best feature of the Amazon Kindle Kids (2022) is its display, with a super-sharp 300 pixels-per-inch (PPI) resolution that really makes text pop. ![]() Rather than ask you to traipse through our 4.5-star review of that fine e-reader, however, let’s summarise how it looks and feels with the added perspective of someone with teeny-tiny hands and a total inability to sit still. If you still can't connect to the Wi-Fi, we'd recommend using a USB cable to connect the e-reader to your computer instead.As I mentioned at the outset, the Amazon Kindle Kids (2022) is an Amazon Kindle (2022). Turn your internet off and on, and restart your Kindle. If you've tried changing your Wi-Fi router settings, and hotspotting your smartphone, and nothing's worked, there are a few quick things to check. There are accounts online of people successfully using their smartphone for this though, so it seems rather hit-and-miss. When writing this guide, not once did we manage to get our smartphone to successfully connect to the Kindle, even when trying different phones. As noticed in our testing, and corroborated by accounts online, hot-spotting to a Kindle doesn't always work. We've got a separate guide on using your smartphone as a hotspot here, so click that to find out how, but again there's a catch. If, for whatever reason, you can't get your router to output 2.4GHz, there's another option, though it's no less techy - that's by hot-spotting your smartphone, or temporarily turning your device into its own router, which will output 2.4GHz. It may be possible to get your router to start sending out 2.4GHz too. If you're able, check your Wi-Fi connection settings from your provider to see if this is the case or not. So it's possible your Kindle can't 'see' your Wi-Fi router because the box is only sending out 5GHz, while your Kindle only 'sees' 2.4GHz. Well, most tech nowadays can connect to both 2.4GHz and 5GHz, but since the latter is faster and more reliable, some routers only use it, instead of 2.4GHz. Firstly, Kindles only connect to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi - this is older, and a bit slower, than 5GHz Wi-Fi, which most modern devices use. Once you've done this, press 'Connect' and your Kindle should now be connected to the internet.Ĭan't find your Wi-Fi connection in the list? There are a few reasons why not. Now, click the name of the Wi-Fi network, and put in the password you wrote down (or have handy). On this list you should see all the Wi-Fi networks you're in range of, including the one you hope to connect to. ![]() Press 'Wi-Fi Networks' in the menu you're on, and a pop-up here should show you a list of all the internet connections in range.
