If one wants to buy ebooks or consult his own ebooks on his Kindle, he must link his Kindle with his Amazon account.
This means entering the password. The average Joe should use a password manager, and since Amazon allows extra characters to be used in the password, the average Joe should also use them, this can only increase security.
However the Kindle's keyboard cannot produce those characters. This means that one cannot fully use a Kindle unless one uses a "low security" password (I expect people to fire me down for saying that!).
Why allow extra/special characters for passwords if it's impossible to produce them in a Kindle? Where's the logic in that? Are people being paid to set Amazon's security?
