Although, Amazon’s Kindle Fire device requires a password for purchases larger than $20, it is still a good idea to stop Amazon In-App Purchases on Kindle Fire to completely rule out unauthorized purchases.

This increases the chances of kids being lured into making In-App purchases, while they are playing games on your Kindle Fire device. Most of the times, young children do not even realize that they are spending real money.
Hence, there is a need to Stop Amazon In-App Purchases on Kindle Fire, in order to completely rule out the possibility of anyone making unwanted purchases on your device.
