E Reader or Kindle for just reading and not going online

I have trying to encourage DD (9) to read more. She has always been a reluctant reader.

She has found recently that she likes to read from her Ipad on the kindle app.

However, I'm afraid that I don't trust her to just read and not just start watching Youtube etc if she reads at bedtime.

Are there any Kindles or similar which can ONLY be used for reading?

There is a Kindle Kids edition - that might suit. My kindle does have an "experimental internet browser" but it's almost impossible to use anyway. I'm not sure if the kids version removes this.

Either the basic Kindle or Kids plus version will work.
There is no browser or YouTube and you can turn the internet off if you want.
It only takes you to the Kindle Store.

Get a Kindle paper white more books to buy, 99p offers and some are free too
It’s a reader only,no internet. I bought for my kids to read in bed and Good to take on holidays(remember them...?)
Pay the £10 extra and get the kindle without the ads, much less annoying

All normal kindles are like that, it's only if you use the app on a tablet or phone that they're not.
