Multi-user profiles in tablets & freetime support for kids!

Great job Amazon! You are the first tablet maker to allow multi-user profiles on the same device. This is a common item on any personal computer, as common as the buttons on a shirt. Happy to see this 'new feature' on Kindle Fire. We can now store user's own settings, data, applications and perhaps even special restrictions. 

Freetime is another wanted setting to allow specific usage hours for the kids - otherwise, it has become very uncontrolled. Finally someone is paying attention to a common problem.
