I have a question about my 11 year old and her kindle fire.?

Question

Her kindle fire is registered to my amazon account. Because of this, she has the ability to purchase books, apps, etc., with one touch of the tablet. The charges go directly to my amazon account. If I "unregister" the table, will she be prompted to enter a valid credit card number in order to purchase media? What is the best way to have the tablet keep all of its functionality but without it being linked to my amazon account?

Hi ted, get Nook Tablet instead. Known issues with Kindle Fire are that it runs hot to touch, video playback is jerky, touch screen is not responsive and it takes 2-3 touches to register, power button placement is very poor and is prone to accidental power off, all the hype of Silk browser is not true where the browsing is actually slower than on other Android tablets, Wi-Fi connection gives a lot of trouble to users on it, etc.

Also, when Fire is activated it allows for 1-Click shopping through the account connected to the device, and such behavior cannot be turned off. Additionally the device asks for no confirmation password before validating the purchase, which means that if anyone gets hold of the device, he can purchase things at will. it is confirmed that Prime movies can't be downloaded, only streamed, making them impossible to watch without Wi-Fi on Kindle Fire. Also, on Fire when the Silk internet browser is pointed at the Android market, it reverts to the Amazon market with much more limited content. Amazon's own web site has hundreds of reviews (close to 1200 already) of Kindle Fire's new owners that gave it 1 or 2 star reviews because of choppy/laggy experience they got from this underpowered device.

Nook Tablet is much better without a doubt, it's a class above Kindle Fire. All pro reviewers on the web clearly voiced that Nook Tablet is a much better device with superior performance compared to Kindle Fire. t's got Netflix, Hulu, Pandora, Angry Brids, etc., the best battery life (30% better than Fire), the best non-glare laminated screen (not lamination on Fire), double the RAM and space for apps/photos/movies than on Fire, microSD slot and a microphone for Skype (not on Fire), physical volume controls on the side (not on Fire), very smooth video playback with excellent screen, and very fast apps load (unlike on Fire).

in case you had to question me... i could ought to assert neither. you're able to probable be greater pleased with a 8 or sixteen gb iPod touch. that's lots greater cost-effective, and has all of the helpful components of an iPad different than for the better demonstrate. With 8gb, you've gotten a descent quantity of songs, video clips, video games, and so on. With sixteen gb, you've gotten a helpful quantity. in case you're traumatic that it nonetheless won't be sufficient room, it is likewise possible to get a 64gb iPod touch for much less funds than an iPad. A sixty 4 gb provides an significant quantity of memory, and it will look like it won't ever end. in case you should chosen between iPad and Kindle hearth, i could chosen the iPad. The kindle hearth is greater cost-effective, inspite of the incontrovertible fact that that's oftentimes configured around reading, which as a fourteen twelve months previous, i do no longer think of that's what you're searching for. undergo in thoughts that the iPad and iPad touch have the two iBooks and a kindle app the place you may study books if that's what you're searching for. The iPad runs on iOS that's a lots much less complicated device than android, the place the Kindle hearth runs on. iOS has lots greater suitable video games, and lots greater suitable... properly... each little thing. whether you do no longer choose video games, iTunes helps thousands of thousands of apps (i believe it says a million/2 a million interior the business, yet its greater!) iOS is lots greater up-datable, the place consistent updates come out recovering it, in assessment to the Android industry place. properly... that's all, wish I HELPED!!
