It does not matter if you are a verified purchaser or not.  You cannot speak ill of companies that sell products via Amazon.  So, in my opinion, you cannot rely on their reviews.<\/li>\n<li>If you purchase an Amazon electronic device, such as a Fire or Kindle (Amazon tablet device), they do NOT warn you that the device is connected to your account, in such a way as it is obvious.  As I am a web developer, I know for a fact that it would be easy to pop up a window that says something like, &#8220;This device will be automatically connected to your account.  Hence, it will have the ability to make purchases via your account (and attached bank account\/credit card).&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Also, if you gift a Fire device, say to a granddaughter, without hacking said device, I&#8217;m not sure how much it&#8217;s worth.  It is pretty much locked into the Amazon market place, and by default CANNOT install apps from Google (android apps via Google Play).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As these are only my experiences, take them with a grain of salt.
