$99 seems insanely cheap, assuming it's not completely gimped. The kids edition is also a cute idea

  The kids edition seems like a good way to convince families to get a second device when they wouldn't otherwise be able to justify a second device.

  The 2-year replacement guarantee on the kids edition is pretty amazing, and is going to sell a ton of tablets.

  It depends on your definition of gimped. As this is Amazon's "Android Light", you're stuck in their app store with no Play Store, Google Maps, Chrome, Firefox, etc. If you want to consume Amazon-purchased media and play a few games, it's great.

  No backlight on that version, which is a dealbreaker for me. After the Paperwhite I realized how nice it is.

    The $99 version is the fire HD which has an LCD display (with backlight)
