Setting up Kindle FreeTime

to add it to your child's Kindle FreeTime library, then tap OK. To add or remove books from
your child's reading list later, tap the profile icon next to your child's name on the Kindle
FreeTime main screen, then select Library.
Set Access to Achievements to On to enable your child to view earned achievements. Use the
Daily Reading Goal option to specify the number of minutes your child should read each day.
Once you have completed the Kindle FreeTime profile setup process, simply tap the Kindle
FreeTime item on the Home screen to access profiles. You can create up to four profiles. To
manage a profile later, tap the profile icon next to a child's name. Options include
Progress, Library, Edit, Delete, and Subscription. Choosing the Delete option will permanently
delete the profile, including that child's reading statistics and any achievements they may
have earned.
To exit Kindle FreeTime, tap the Menu button on the Home screen and select Exit FreeTime.
You will be prompted to enter your Parental Controls password. To access Kindle FreeTime
