Parents can also limit time for different activities as well as set a curfew, after which the kids can't access the device anymore. Parents can set time goals (e.g., read for 30 minutes a day), and they can forbid kids from opening any of the 'entertainment' content until they eat their vegetables get a certain amount of educational work out of the way. Children can't get into the settings - or email or the web browser, for that matter. By default, in-app purchases aren't allowed, and kids don't have access to the Appstore. Speaking of software, there are naturally lots of parental controls on board here.

(All this stuff varies in age-appropriateness, though Amazon says the tablet is primarily aimed at children ages three to 10.) Given that these are the HD 6 and HD 7, they do have front- and rear-facing cameras, though a future software update will also give kids the ability to add digital 'stickers.' Like you do when you're seven. Additionally, Amazon is including its 'FreeTime Unlimited' package free for one year, which features various kid-friendly content that includes books, movies, TV shows, apps and games. Meanwhile, as we said, the Kids Edition features the same 6- and 7-inch tablets, except it comes with a rubber case and a two-year replacement plan that covers the sorts of accidents not normally included in standard gadget warranties. Naturally, your mileage may vary, but Amazon is at least hoping its tablets will fare better than all those no-name brands people have been giving two-star reviews. Amazon used a Gorilla Glass panel to help ward off scratches, and it tested its tablets with sunscreen, salt water and even a machine that simulates items being tossed around inside a bag. Other than that, the main selling point seems to be durability. Obviously, since we haven't tested these, we can't vouch for the performance, but even so: Those are impressive screens for tablets this cheap. Really, then, the only difference between the two tablets is screen density, with the 7-incher coming in at 216 ppi and the 6-inch model going up to 252. Finally, a new 'Family Library' feature lets you share books, apps, games and videos with someone else in the house - maybe a spouse who has a different Amazon account. With the new software, you can also add up to six user profiles.

Both run Amazon's new Fire OS 4.0 (code-named 'Sangria'), which brings over the Firefly scan-and-buy feature from the Fire phone and ASAP (Advanced Streaming and Prediction) from the Fire TV.

All told, with the exception of screen size, the two tablets have the same specs, including an unspecified quad-core 1.5GHz processor, a 1,280 x 800 screen, an eight-hour battery, Dolby Digital Plus audio and dual cameras, with the rear one capable of shooting 1080p video.
