Unlike other devices, the Amazon Kindle line offers devices that include ads in order to lower the cost to the end-user. These ads are for products on Amazon.com, and include eBooks, videos, and other products. We would recommend ignoring the $15 cost savings and opting for the ad-free version, as the ads cannot be controlled.<\/p>\n

The Kindle Fire HD is a difficult device to filter and therefore we concur with the statement (from \u201cProtect Young Eyes\u201d) that the Kindle Fire HD is not a good choice for children. There are, however, steps that can be taken to protect it for those who do have one.<\/p>\n
