I hate, loathe, abominate Amazon’s one-click purchase on Kindle books. A random touch on my tablet and it was mine.

And once I didn’t even realize I’d done it, but fortunately noticed the book in my library before the return window shut.

I can easily picture scenarios where a random touch => expensive purchase could result in someone’s going below their minimum balance or over their credit limit, resulting in all sorts of complications and charges. Why, Amazon, why?
They can do it - already in place when you purchase digital music - a second screen with a button asks you to confirm your purchase.
