Ah but with a traditional bookstore (where you have to go physically to buy the book) you would have adult content segregated from where kids would be allowed to go. I remember some yrs ago (when I was under 18) a local video rental place had a section that was segregated from the rest of the store for 'adult' entertainment, and the owner made sure that no one under 18 was allowed to enter that section. Why don't stores like Amazon have a special 'adults only' section of the store that requires a separate password to access? That would solve the problem wouldn't it? Then if you are an adult you can access that section of the kindle bookstore, but if you want to get into that section and don't know the password for it you are turned away. That way kids kindles could be linked to the parents accounts (as some are) and yet the kids couldn't access the 18 yr + stuff.
