Well that sounds all well and good, but Amazon shipped these devices pre-setup with the purchasers amazon account and credit card details.
Then they wouldn't even let you download free stuff without putting in a credit card, no gift card or prepaid card, it had to be a real verifiable credit card.
Then they put in that One-Click Buy button, which for once does exactly what it says. After you clicked it and clicked "Yes", it's "too late to cancel the order".
So I can see how lots of kids bought lots of stuff, and I imagine that even the kids assumed that Amazon wouldn't just send them a tablet with someone else's credit card details and no verification beyond clicking "Yes". But of course they knew and millions because of it.
