Kindle for Kids: Use Kindle for Kids to create personalised profiles for your child, select books from
your library to share, and set daily reading goals while automatically blocking access to places you
may not want your child to go, such as the Kindle Store, Goodreads on Kindle or the Experimental
Web Browser. When a Kindle for Kids profile is active, you will see a lock icon at the top of the screen
next to the Wi-Fi status indicator, and the Deregistration and Reset Device options will be disabled.
Restrictions: Use Restrictions to manually block the Experimental Web Browser, Kindle Store,
Amazon Cloud and/or Goodreads on Kindle. When restrictions are enabled, you will see a lock icon at
the top of the screen next to the Wi-Fi/3G status indicator, and the Deregistration and Reset Device
options will be disabled.
Change Password: When you set up Kindle for Kids or turn on a restriction for the first time, you
will be prompted to create a password. Note that this password will be required to make changes to
settings within Parental Controls. If you forget your password, reset it by visiting www.amazon.com/
devicesupport and deregistering your device or by contacting Kindle Customer Service.

protect your Kindle, you must also set up a passcode again.
