Set a password on the Kindle itself -- why are they doing random things on a device that doesn't belong to them?

Besides, I don't think any of the default font settings exposed by the KUAL controls are capable of bricking your device -- you need to apply custom configurations for that to be a risk.

I always worry more about people doing things *accidentally*. I tend not to assume the worst about people...especially people that I'm loaning my Kindle to.

Lending out your Kindle? Okay, temporarily delete KUAL.
