FreeTime is subscription service. Apparently it is also necessary to set up Child profiles in order to read the content. Those also need to be set up per-device, which requires internet connection as well. If I remember correctly (I have played with child profiles a bit) you cannot side load content that can be read with Child profile, which would defeat the ability of parents to control the content and send it to the device from Parent Dashboard. There are other restrictions and reading features that are not enabled as well (e.g. I think immersion reading does not work on Fire or iOS).
This is explicitly called out in the FreeTime for iOS Help article, not sure why it isn’t for Kindle.
Presumably it’s possible for parent accounts to read FT content using their account (how else could they review what it is that they were sending?), even if it is enabled for only 1 child account. But I am not curious enough to do a trial to find out.
