Calculate your Cost
Amazon allows you to keep track of your expenditure. If you’re logged into Your Account, then go to Your Orders. Here, you will see a list of everything you’ve purchased in the past and the total of what you have spent so far. You can export all of this data in the spreadsheet-friendly CSV format with the help of the Order History Reports page.
Deregister Old Devices
It’s always a good idea to unlink your Amazon account from the previous devices you’ve lost or sold. This helps keep your data which you might have saved, secure. This can be done by selecting Your Account from the Amazon website, then click on Manage Your Content and Devices. Select the Devices tab to check all the devices you’ve logged in on, and deregister the older ones, if any.

Enable/Disable the Auto-Play
