Shiloh has a Leapfrog Leappad and it's been great for games and things. But I was thinking that now that she's reading, it may be time to upgrade to a real e-reader. I have the Kindle Paperwhite and it's perfect for me. No games. Just books in black and white. For her though, she will need a real Kindle. In color for books with pictures, and the ability to download games. I know that I can set parental controls for internet access.
I really have no clue on which Kindle to get. I started googling and my eyes went blurry from wading through fire, hd, hdx, 7 inch, 8.9 inch, and more. What should I be looking for?

I prefer the cases that have two pieces that snap together (one is the back and one is the front plus a screen protector). Otherwise you get a flimsy plastic screen cover you install yourself and it never works because it gets all these air bubbles under it. I just went to the Trident site and watched their video. It looks like the Kraken AMS has the good screen protector. BUT, buy the case off amazon.com. It's still sold by Trident, but they're less expensive there for some reason.
My Kindle Fire is an e-reader, can download Android games, has all the bells and whistles I need it to have. Newer models probably have a lot more memory and some better compatibility with websites. A lot of the sites I access on it have a decent mobile version so it's the same as viewing them on your smart phone. There are still some sites I have trouble with, like you can't watch a youtube video on it, but you can download it and then watch it. It won't stream directly from the site. I'm not sure if that issue has been corrected in newer models. I love that I can dim the screen for night reading (aka surfing Facebook or watching Netflix before bed). When I co-slept this came in very handy . . . as well as the closed-captioning when watching movies.
We haven't had any issues with storage, and we don't have the highest available. I think its 16 GB? We have quite a few apps downloaded, but I regularly clean them out, because as they have gotten a bit older, they have outgrown some apps.
I love the parental controls on the kindle. I can lock down all of the features and things they do not need to be into
I don't know what the current models of kindles are, so I am just going off of what we have.
