The units in this sale are being sold as open box condition. That means that they have been opened due to being a photo sample, a tested good customer return or having damaged packaging. Some non-essential items may be missing from the box. The unit may not be shipped in retail packaging. That is the reason for the reduced sale price and the reduced warranty.
We're listing these as "Refurbished", but the boxes will be marked "Used - Good". These units will have minor cosmetic blemishes and have been returned, inspected, and restored to fully working condition by an Amazon technician. The units have been repackaged in a brown box.

Perfect for Parents
Kindle FreeTime is a new service, built to help give parents peace of mind when it comes to tablet use. Parents can create a profile for each of their children and choose what content they want to give their kids access to. Kindle FreeTime is free on the new Kindle Fire HD. Coming soon, parents will be able to shop tens of thousands of hit movies and the latest TV shows and add them to FreeTime.
...And Perfect for Kids
When kids use Kindle FreeTime, it's like they have their very own, personalized tablet. The background color and fonts change to a kid-friendly design. They only see the titles that they have access to see. The Home screen carousel shows their recently viewed titles. And they can even navigate visually to content based on characters or topics - for example, "Cinderella", "Dinosaurs", or "Puppies".
Set Screen Limits
Many parents choose to limit their kids' screen time but doing so without the proper tools is difficult. With Kindle FreeTime, parents can set daily limits for Kindle Fire HD use or restrict certain categories like games while leaving unlimited time for reading.
Light and Durable
Weighing just 345 grams, Kindle Fire HD is lighter than ever and comfortable to hold in one hand. It is also designed to stand up to accidental bumps and scrapes. Our state-of-the art display is 20 times stiffer and 30 times harder than plastic, so you can let your child play without worry.
