It is possible to turn off the wireless... Hmm, but it's just as easy to turn it back on. so that mightn't work. I guess it might be possible to unlink the credit card details. Haven't explored that option. Trish I got my kindle this week. It is possible to turn off the wireless… Hmm, but it’s just as easy to turn it back on. so that mightn’t work.

Perhaps a low level debit card that only staff can top up might be better than a credit card. I had a look at the manual, and could not locate a way to password protect the kindle, but perhaps others might know how to do this. I would be interested in hearing how you sort out these issues. Anne Jim,

Can you stop students from downloading extra books from Amazon (only takes 50 seconds) and maxing out one's credit card? Also how do you keep tabs on what books are on what Kindles?
