Setting up a Kindle account for a kid

I was trying to set it up so my kid could order kindle books using amazon gift cards. Bottom line, at least in 2019, was that there was no way to do this. The only way to order kindle books was with 1-touch, which required a linked credit card. The system that I finally had to use was to send books to her account as gifts, and do the ordering myself. Also she didn't figure out how to use email until a couple of years later, so her account is linked to one of my own emails which meant that I was sending the books to myself, opening the gift email myself and accepting it so that it would go to her device. Here is the trace of the research that I did on this problem two years ago.

This thread seems to indicate that it is possible to use a gift card to buy a kindle book, but the account still has to have a linked credit card which was a non-starter for my case: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=116313

This YouTube vide seems to rely on some sort of glitch when setting up 1-click purchases and it didn't work for me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVA5d9-jXeg

There are a lot of hits for my question. The answers from 2010 don't seem to apply any more. There were other variations on the theme of the youtube video which was "set up 1-click but don't actually enter a credit card" so there must be something to it. https://www.google.com/search?q=amazon+kindle+no+credit+card&oq=amazon+kindle+no+credit+card

Lastly, because it's not at all clear how to send a kindle purchase as a gift, here's a page showing what it looks like to do it, followed by a sneaky advertisement for DRM removal software: https://www.epubor.com/how-to-gift-kindle-books.html

How to watch amazon prime streaming video on apple tv

Download the amazon video app to an iphone. When watching the video, find the familiar Airplay button somewhere on the screen and direct the video to the Apple TV as usual.

The smallest keyfinder

A running log of my project to find a suitable keyfinder for Lisa. It needs to be useful for both keys and objects such as the cell phone and remote.

My first purchase was the "Click-n-Dig" brand, which is very nice. It has both stick-on and keyring style beepers, check. It comes with spare batteries for all compents, nice. However, the beepers are relatively large. In our case they are actually bigger than both the cell phone and the remote. And the dongle with the buttons to make the beepers beep is tiny; they've gone to a lot of trouble to make the colors and shapes of the buttons match the colors and shapes of the beepers, but there's no way to distinguish which beeper you've assigned to which object except to keep a separate list. Also, the battery covers have fallen right off of both the keychain beepers in the 4-beeper set that I got, and so far I've only found one.

This Sharper Image one has a remote with spaces where you can write what each beeper was attached to, but the beepers are gigantic and the device apparently suffers from Sharper Image's reliability issues.

This "EZ-Find" device seems to have it all; mini stick-on beepers, a way to select a beeper by assigned name, but the form function of the remote is just painful and absurd. I'm trying to like it, but I don't think that I can. Plus it has a price befitting such a complicated piece of electronics.

Some asides:

This is an interesting idea using rfid tags, but it turns out to be pure vaporous concept and unlikely to ever actually exist:

Here's a version of the Click-n-Dig that has even more oversized beepers, plus the remote is huge:

This "Find One Find All" concept is pretty neat, but the smallest stick-on remote that they have is the size of a credit card:
