The other half has recently received a Kindle Fire HD for her birthday and is looking at various books and music albums to download, and I've been looking at Prime subscription in advance of the new "Top Gear", but also as I've found my allegiance to eBay is being eroded by Amazon consistency.

I've seen a "Prime Household" option that looks like we can share the benefits of prime, but I think we both need to have active credit/debit cards attached to the accounts. This concerns me as the kids have started playing on the Fire HD, and although we purposely didn't add any payment options to her tablet, it concerns me that "accidental" purchases could be made. Virtually every electronic device is locked down in the house, but it doesn't stop them trying to hack passwords etc, then feigning innocence when they invariably get caught (and lose internet privileges for a week, but still don't learn) .

If I take a Prime subscription in my name for one day delivery and video streaming, can she also use it for books and music? Or would it be better to have it in her name with a pre-paid debit card, and have me a second user for one day delivery?

Thanks all for the input - signed up to AP this weekend, and set up the household functions. Kids are locked out of purchases without my password, and the other half has her whole profile pin-coded.

She's bought a few books already at 99p, and learning about the lending library.

I've got my Tassimo pods on subscription now as well. Genius idea that one.
