Fire tablets are not Kindle e-readers. Amazon dropped the Kindle name from the tablets a few years back.

Paperwhite 11 leather case (lemmy.world)

When I had the previous version of the Paperwhite Amazon sold a version of the leather case that was a soft leather. With the new Paperwhite 11 the Amazon leather case is a hard plastic. Is there anything on the market for the Paperwhite 11 that's like that previous version?

Got my new-to-me-refurbished 11th gen Kindle Paperwhite today! Took advantage of an early Prime Day deal, excited to finally upgrade from my very very laggy 6th gen version.

Say a 4-yr-old who likes to mess with things saw my kindle lying on a table, because I like being able to pick it up and read whenever without having to dig it out of a drawer or high shelf out of reach. Before anybody saw she had the kindle, she had lost my spot in my book, changed the font size, and purchased two books from the Amazon store. Annoying, but could have been worse.

I got the books refunded and found my page again. Also turned off one-click purchases, which was infuriatingly on by default on the kindle even though I had already disabled it on my phone and computer previously - I don't use the store from my kindle, so had never had reason to suspect it was an issue.

No harm done though. She could have deleted stuff. So I put a passcode on it too. But it occurred to me after some research that the kindle offers to factory reset itself after five unsuccessful passcode attempts. Which means if the little devil gets up to her shenanigans again, there's a decent chance she'll end up just wiping my kindle. That's even worse than just leaving it unlocked and risking her messing things up.

It kind of sucks that there's no real third option, aside from just keeping the thing out of her reach at all times. Anybody else have this admittedly niche problem, and how did you deal with it?

I had a 1024 day reading streak going and somehow missed a day just this past Monday. What a bummer. We had some plumbing issues at the house and it threw my whole day off.
