The Cloud would be like any Internet site except that you use it for definite data-gathering or moving activity so when using it, in your situation, it's definitely something to do as little as possible. And yes, being able to download prime instant video when the publisher allows that would be key, especially when you can do that on free WiFi available somewhere other than home.<br /><br /> From what I remember, you can choose a more basic parental control in that there are settings to set your kids up with specific apps and to not allow access to the web. That is true of Kindle Fire HD. <br /><br /> To get more input on this, try out the very useful <a href="http://amzn.to/kindlecommunity" rel="nofollow">Amazon Kindle Comunity Forum</a> to get info from regulars and 'Forum Pros' there.

I just bought 2 Kindle Fire HDX for my 8-9 year olds Christmas. We live in a rural area and can't get an unlimited internet plan so we have to be careful about our use. We never stream videos etc. I'm not sure how the Cloud impacts our usage but I'd love to find information on how I can use the Kindle to it's fullest while limiting the bandwidth used. One factor in my decision was that you can actually download a movie now-they will download while away from home on free wi-fi. <br /><br />The 2nd question is how can I ensure my kids aren't seeing my Amazon purchases and wish lists while using their Kindles associated with our 1 Amazon Prime Account-without being logged into Free Time? It seems that shopping and Amazon access are really prominent on these devices and I don't want them seeing what I'm buying for them for Christmas etc. Any help would be appreciated.

Photon is a proxy browser (like Silk or Opera Mini). It decodes Flash on the server side so that you can watch videos on devices without a Flash player installed. I have a bunch of Android devices but no Kindle Fire, so I can't verify whether Photon works on the Fire.<br /><br />(I don't have a Kindle Fire, but I follow your blog because I have 3 E-Ink Kindles!)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10290449054812598695noreply@blogger.com
