From past experience, the biggest issue with these is Kindle Kids app itself.

The 32gb storage is nowhere near enough

The Kids+ app is terrible about making use of additional storage you add via the SD card
Supposedly it will make better use of it if you put the app in and do a factory restore, but that means kids lose all progress in their games / apps
The 32gb fills up VERY fast with the Kids+ subscription

The parental controls are terrible, especially if you're trying to keep things somewhat limited for younger kids

They only allow blocking apps vs. setting an allow list -- that means that any new games added to the app store are automatically available
You can only control what's blocked via the app, not via the parents dashboard on the web
In the UI to block apps, you can either search for things by title (making you scroll through books & movies to get to apps) or you can pick from a grid of icons (filtering to just apps). If you want to explore what's available to pick & choose and aren't familiar with what the app icons are for everything, there's no good way to do that.
You can set limits to say that "educational apps" must be played a certain amount of time before other apps can be opened, but you're left to rely on the app store categories to determine what counts as "educational"

There's no way to backup progress in games installed via the Kids+ app. The storage for those is super locked-down and not accessible via the regular file system.

I just bought this last week for $199, I got on the chat and the person told me they can't adjust the price, I have to return it. Is that true with Amazon? I will, but I'd rather not if possible..

I bought last week 2 of them, it had 25% discount, but this one beats it and yes we have to return. They don't price match it.

We went with the 8 for our 3 year old. It's been fine.

Pro is targeted for older kids. The case is slimmer, more color options and it provides access to "Digital Store".

Acess to paid kids content, like tons of books and shows.
And guarantee against breaking.
