    Does anyone at @amazon want to explain why PUBLIC LIBRARY BOOKS are banned from children's kindle devices? Also banned: "Documents" which could would allow creative commons or uncopyrighted books. So only books purchased from Amazon are allowed on kid's Amazon e-readers? 😡pic.twitter.com/2avHNaiDBS

        It's a setting—you can set it so that the store is disabled (Which is fine! Good idea!)https://twitter.com/brainyisnewsexy/status/1074140773128527872 …

        It's fine if you don't have the kids "free time" setting on.

        Guessing because they don’t currently have the ability to selectively block or allow books from third party services such as Libby (choice of many public libraries) Amazon probably hasn’t reviewed the collections of these services to determine which books are safe for kids

        Its a long story that begins with the wealthy refusing to pay taxes for any public good. Then privatize everything following Reagan. Dot com cazillionaires all become libertarian after making two cents. Etc.

        You can add an app to read downloaded books. On my kindle I used Calibre but there are probably others

        I just upload them via Calibre so they're converted and look nice, but I read them within the regular ol' Kindle app!
