I read quite a bit. Lately not so much, because the Kid and other hobbies leave little time for reading, but I do still read. A few years ago got myself Amazon Kindle, got sick and tired of carrying books around on my trips; seemed like a comfortable alternative. And it is comfy - easy to buy books, when you finish one, battery life is good, et cetera. But this time it's less about books, more about kids, right?
So, today I found my Kindle on the desk, instead of usual place by the bed. I've noticed, that the Kid every now and then pushes some buttons, but never actually managed to turn it on before (power button is quite small on the side). Until today. I turn my Kindle on and I see successful purchase page. Some sort of bestseller, I guess from the front page of the store. Category: Books > Gay & Lesbian > Literature & Fiction > Fiction > Romance > Gay. Not that I mind, ratings are good, but it might not be quite my cup of tea. Well, 10 bucks spent, lesson learned. At least it wasn't some 400$ highly-specific and from highly-unrelated field. And I'll start getting Gay book recommendations. And, probably, my ad-network statistics are quite effed up now as well.
Morale of the story: keep your connected devices password-protected. Especially, if they allow one-click purchases.
