Hello, I didn't see a forum for this, so I put it in the "bug" forum.

This bugs me. I HAVE to use 1-click to buy from amazon.

1) I don't think this is secure. Yes, I can deactivate my kindle if it gets stolen, but someone could rack up a hefty bill from the time I get my kindle stolen until it gets deactivated.

2) I propose an account on amazon that I could put money in to (say 500 hundred at a time) that I could use for digital downloads of kindle books.

They have something similar to this but it is not allowed for digital downloads.

Do you think we could rally support for this?

Could bloggers post about the possible security problem on their blogs?

Could someone release a press release and get this in the news??

Thank you and I look forward to hearing your responses.
