And there is Amazon Free time which allows you to lock down the tablet for kids and set how much time they can use it.

There is the Kindle lending library as well.

These are features you don't get when you have an iPad or a general Android tablet, even if you are an Amazon Prime member. Yes, on my iPad I can watch Prime Movies, listen to Prime Music and read Kindle books. But I can't use the Kindle Unlimited library, the Underground apps and iOS has nothing like Freetime, neither does generic Google Android.
A couple of small corrections:
- Amazon Underground is available to anyone with an Android device, who chooses to side-load the Amazon app from amazon.com.
- Kindle Unlimited is available on 'any device or app' including (among others) the iOS and Android apps. Kindle Owner Lending Library requires a Fire or Kindle device.
- Family Library is likewise 'any device or app', though only Kindle and Fire can have 'child' accounts set up (and K1/K1/DX don't support it).
