i'm just looking for something to entertain him as well as sort of tutor program as well i've been thinking maybe he needs the kindle so i can set parental controls. but i'm also worried about him breaking it if he gets frustrated because he is not likely to ask for help.

bridgingapps.org has been recommended to me by two different professionals, although I haven't tried it yet.
