LeapPad Ultra: The Ultra Learning Tablet for Kids
The latest chapter in the kids' tablet saga is upon us, and LeapFrog has truly made a leap, creating a tablet that doesn't require the extra cartridges that were necessary with the two initial LeapPads. This is a real tablet. The icons are much like those of an iPad or other adult's tablet, but the contact is kid-friendly and parent approved. Built to withstand the rigors of child handling, the 7-inch hi resolution screen and Wi-Fi access make this a great option for safeguarding your investment. Kid-safe Web is another important consideration. The entire system is kid-safe from the very moment it comes out of the box.
Parental controls provide extra management options. The Kids' tablet provides access to a LeapFrog created library of more than 800 games, ebooks, videos and apps. Onboard are 11 apps to start with or download for free. A built-in lithium ion battery is rechargeable. Front and back cameras provide lots of creative fun, and peer-to-peer play options promote cooperative learning. The system is designed to enhance learning and provoke creativity at an age-appropriate level. The system is ideal for kids from ages 4 to 9 and is available in green or pink.

Rugged Tablet and Ereader Cases for Kids
One of the best educational gifts I've gotten for my teenage daughter is her Kindle. She is constantly reading, and she consistently asks for extra jobs to do so that she can earn extra money to spend on books. She's working with the basic model of the Kindle, and she likes the fact that it doesn't accidentally change pages with a touch of the screen, something she experienced when borrowing her older sister's touchscreen Kindle.
One challenge with her Kindle, though, is that she's a little careless and forgetful. I've found it left in unusual spots from time to time, and it's had a few close calls. I can't recommend enough the importance of two companion gifts if you are looking for a kids' tablet or ereader: get a good case and a protection plan!
My daughter's case isn't overly rugged, but it handles the job. However, if it's left on a couch one of these days, I can picture the potential damage. She's been warned! Hence, the protection plan. I could just let her deal with the loss, but unfortunately, I don't want to deal with the cost. The plan was worth it, and the value with such plans online can be really good. Amazon, for example, has excellent pricing on protection plans.
My younger kids are still in the handheld console mode: 3DS or DSI systems seem to be constructed for a bit more durability. However, if you have any child that is careless with his or her things, that warranty is worth its weight in gold.

Savings on a Kindle for a Child
If you are looking for an affordable tablet for a child, today (12/10/12) is a great day to save on the Kindle Fire HD 8.9" model. The larger Kindle for a child is a great way to improve visual display and motor skill development with a tablet. While the 7" is pretty good, that extra little bit of display space is really attractive. I struggle with challenges on my small touchscreen device, and I really appreciate the size of the larger tablets. Affordability, of course, is always a concern when the budget is tight.
The 8.9" Kindle Fire tablet normally costs $299. With this offer, you can use the code FIREHD89 to save $50 (one per customer). It's a one day deal while supplies last. I do recommend that if the tablet is for a child, a protection plan is a smart investment. Kids can be a little bit rough on tech devices, and this is one you will want to use for years.

Save on Kindle Tablet at Amazon
Use Code FIREDEAL, CyberMonday only, to save on the Kindle Fire
If you are looking for a really good tablet at a great price, then take note of the Cyber Monday deal from Amazon. The Kindle Fire is available, 1 per customer, at a price of $129. The device is highly regarded among its users and was a hit with the tween and teen age range last year in its first year. It's unlikely that you will see this kind of deep discounting with other retailers on their major tablets, and this makes the Kindle Fire a great choice over some of the kids' tablets on the market this year. Check out more details here.

The Kindle Paperwhite provides a six inch display that
includes a built-in light, making it possible to read at any time and in any conditions. The white background makes the reading
experience more like working with an actual book, reducing eye strain. Weighing 7.5 ounces, the device is
lightweight and easy to take with you. 2
GB of storage on the device allows you to download more than 1,000 books, but
with Amazon cloud storage, you have access to even more content. Touchscreen interaction makes this E-reader
much like a tablet in terms of use. The
battery life of the new Kindle device is as much as eight weeks, depending on
settings. Wireless and light usage can
reduce this time, but the device provides extended reading time between
charges.

popular authors on a monthly basis.
