Kindle FreeTime (Kindle for Kids in the UK)
Kindle FreeTime (known as Kindle for Kids in the UK) lets you create a personalized
experience for up to four children, giving you complete control over what content each child
can access. Kids earn achievements that help them keep track of their personal reading
accomplishments. Access to the Kindle Store, the Experimental Web Browser, Goodreads, and
Wikipedia is automatically blocked. Children can only read books that you have added to their
library.
Setting up Kindle FreeTime (Kindle for Kids in the UK)
To get started, tap the Menu icon, then tap Kindle FreeTime (Kindle for Kids in the UK). After
tapping Get Started, you will be prompted to set a Parental Controls password if you do not

it to your child’s Kindle FreeTime library (Kindle for Kids library in the UK), then tap OK.
