Just bought a refurbished device yesterday. Managed to make a first purchase for 77p, which seems reasonable enough.
But then a child grabbed it and took it away to play with for half an hour or so. When I got it back, I noticed there were a couple more items in the library! They seemed to be subscriptions or magazine content, which I assumed were free....
...until I looked at some Amazon emails today! One was a subscription with a free trial, which I managed to cancel. The other was for £4.99!
How is it possible for just anyone to take my device and download any amount on stuff on it, without having to enter a password or anything? Is it possible somehow to disable this 1-click thing? I suppose turning off the wi-fi might stop a child ordering things, but wouldn't stop anyone else turning it back on!
Without cancelling all my cards with Amazon, is it going to be safe to take this device on holidays, without it potentially costing me thousands, or should I just take a sledge-hammer to it as soon as possible?
