You’ve disabled 1-Click ordering everywhere Note: 1-Click ordering is always enabled for digital video, Kindle books, MP3s and other digital purchases. So I think we very well could be screwed by an accidental screen touch. |

As far as I know you cannot purchase books using the Kindle for iOS app. (Amazon would have to give Apple a cut.)

And, the problem isn't a random screen touch. It's touching the "Buy with 1-click button". If the button covered half the screen I could see an "accidental" touch but, of course, it doesn't. Why I have some complaints about the system, making it more difficult to protect those who can't handle a simple system is a ridiculous solution. |

![]() I may have been wrong about it affecting digital purchases, but 1-Click CAN be turned off for individual devices. But regardless of all that ... Quote:
Tapping once on an item in a recommendation from the Kindle app's home page will not buy an ebook. I'm not getting the problem. Nothing I can see in the new app makes it any easier to "accidentally" buy an ebook than it would be to do so in any of the older versions. ![]() Last edited by DiapDealer; 10-25-2017 at 10:11 AM. |

What's the URL to be able to turn off 1-Click for individual devices?

The link to your 1-Click settings page is: https://www.amazon.com/cpe/manageone...hange_1_click& The links/methods to alter individual device settings will look different (and be in different locations) depending on the device/browser being used. I'm not making it up, Jon. I have 1-Click disabled for my browser, and disabled for all but one of my four registered devices. |

Yes, it's disabled for my browser... and still appears the Buy One-Click for ebooks. And, aside of if I'm able or not to use the button, if I have a link for disabling it, I expect coherence (I shouldn't expect it working with software but a girl can dream).

But as I said, regardless of all that, I simply don't see how anyone thinks that "accidentally" buying an ebook is any "easier" to do in the new version that it would be in the old. And Jon doesn't have the new version yet anyway, so he should wait until he does before commenting on how easy it is to make an accidental purchase. |

It is easier trust me. You accidentally clicked on a book instead of the books in your library then the app hiccups because Mom decides to say Hi in messenger. Luckily I had a gift card balance and returning it was easy but it's a concern.

My Android device (Lollipop 5.1) is still stuck on Kindle v7.18.0.1. Has anyone else with Lollipop gotten the update?

There was never books you don't own on screen before they were little squares now they are the same size and easy to click instead of your own book.

![]() And like always, clicking on one of those titles I don't own (regardless of its size) isn't enough to buy it. I still have to follow-up and click the orange "Buy Now" button on the next screen. Just like I have to do with any Kindlebook purchase. Last edited by DiapDealer; 10-25-2017 at 12:55 PM. |
