Have I mentioned lately how much I’m loving my Kindle Fire? There has been some negative reviews about the device – mainly that it’s not an iPad – or real competition for an iPad. But hello? An iPad costs way more – so I would expect much more from an iPad than a $200 tablet/ereader. The Kindle Fire is a nice ereader/tablet. I can do a lot with it. Does it do everything perfectly? Of course not, but I had no expectations that it would. I figure the 2nd generation Kindle Fire will improve it greatly.
One concern that people have is that you can easily buy items from the store since your Amazon account is tied to your Fire. This is true. It is very easy to click and buy apps, movies, books, etc. But you can turn on security to make sure that should your Fire fall into nefarious hands that they won’t be making unauthorized purchases.
Click on the settings icon and then select more. Select security. You can add a lock screen password that you must type to use your Fire. This way you will have to know the password to use the Fire and to make purchases.
I would also suggest that if your Kindle Fire is stolen that you change your Amazon password as soon as possible. Better to be safe than sorry.
