I don't own a Kindle device and dropped Amazon Prime after the first year we tried it several years ago. According to the FreeTime Unlimited page, those with Amazon Prime can pay an additional monthly fee to access what is billed as "child-friendly content." Parental controls are built-in which is a good feature. Those without Amazon Prime can pay a higher monthly fee to access the same content. I could not find an app list without signing up for a subscription.wyattJackson06 wrote:Sorry, I ment that you read up on some of the innner workings of Freetime so that you can understand how member tools is still avaible in a search.

However, for the cost of an Amazon Prime account and the monthly subscription fee, I can replace a mid-range Android tablet or phone every couple of years instead which will give me a current OS version and updated hardware. I don't see the cost benefit of going this route just to have member tools. I suppose this might be a worthwhile option for those who already keep an annual Amazon Prime account and an annual/monthly FreeTime subscription.
Just my 2-cents. It's a good thing there are different options out there for us to individually consider.
