I am looking for some educational and some fun. We have the parental controls, so she can't just load anything she wants. When Ds gets his in a few weeks.. the games on it will be totally different as he actually likes khan academy and some of the obvious educational games . She does not.

I just got Kindle fire recently (the HD one for $199) and am planning on letting my boys use it (DS2.5 and DS4) but I haven't looked into any parental controls yet or anything.

(I cant give specifics right now because she is reading a book!) And this is the kindle fire HD. I think it is the first kindle with the controls on it.
