The unlimited streaming video is free, as long as you have an Amazon Prime membership. You get a month-long trial membership when you buy a Kindle Fire.

The free apps are really free, no membership necessary, no time limit- other than the Free App of the Day, which is good for that day only.

You can’t rent them from that link though, you have to go through the book store on the Kindle.

Thanks! That is helpful although there used to be a more broken down by category (fiction, non-fiction, biographies) link but I can’t find it any more. Regardless, I still love the Fire but will probably not sign up for Prime.

I dunno. The kindle had a clickable icon that said Facebook built in, so I clicked it and signed in.

Thats likely the facebook mobile application (little blue box on the apps page) it appears to simply launch a regular web page to the ‘[m.facebook.com](http://m.facebook.com)’ address.

If you hit the menu button under that page, it brings up general browser settings that may help you here - but there should be a ‘logout’ button somewhere for facebook itself.

I opened [m.facebook.com](http://m.facebook.com) in a regular browser - the "logout’ link is at the very bottom of the page -

I would also suggest tweaking the browser settings to not remember username/passwords and other form related data, as that may be logging you back in as a ‘feature’.
