iPad has really good user controls.
And Apple always requires a password for a purchase.

Amazon, are you listening?

Nope. The bookshelf shows what's on the cloud (thus, all books purchased on our family's Amazon account), not just what's been downloaded to this particular Fire.

You dummy! Don't you know that you can set up a PIN number for app purchases? How did you ever get to be a moderator?

Yes, I discovered a few minutes ago that you can set up a pin for that device as well as set up parental controls. When I then tried to purchase a comic in the Comix app, the pin screen popped up. This is good.

Unfortunately, all the books you've purchased are still available for downloading without the PIN, and I'm not sure my ex-daughter-in-law wants my grandson reading Fanny Hill.

Darn I was coming here to post about it! I saw the new Parental controls this morning on my phone. So it's possible we will soon see it other places I think.

No yesterday when I got an update for the app store. I was just too busy here to see if anything was new till this morning before bed.

Sorry. I'm confused. Are there now parental controls for the Kindle Fire?
