I know Kindle do a kids Kindle. Might be worth a look at depending on your daughters age. I don't know much about the other Kindles the last one I bought was a few years ago now and I don't use it much now but it was the fire HD.

The kindle fire is a good one. You can set up parental controls however you want on it, and they make kid cases that are shock-absorbent in case they drop it. I'd keep an eye out for the sales on them. last Christmas they were on sale for around $35 on Black Friday at many places. I think my SIL picked up 2 of them at Best Buy last year with that deal.

When have 2 kindle fires. Kids love them. Though they rarely use them, because they are still little. I love the parent controls. You can control how long they get to use it for each activity. The only downside is you have to use youtube through the browser because you can't download the app. I think there is a way to do it though, I just haven't looked into it because they don't use them alot.

the " kids" version IS an adult version only with parental controls auto set up and a bumper around it- you can do the same for a regular kindle.

We have 3 kindle fires AND love them. My kids are 8, and 10 that have them.

My dd2 has a Kindle Fire and has the YouTube app? It has a different icon (its a blue background, just says youtube, as opposed to the red with white triangle) I've never had to use the browser x
