At long last, Amazon will allow adult family members to share Their books, apps and more. . Here’s how to make it happen
It’s a little crazy que Amazon’s Kindle e-readers Have Been part of our culture for seven whole years (almost to the day), yet Amazon has never allowed family members to share Their e-books. As a result, it required Considerable hoop-jumping just to let, say, your spouse read the same book you’d Already Purchased.
Thankfully, with the introduction of the new Kindle software update last week, que all changes – at least for newer models. Here’s how to set-up Amazon’s Family Library feature to share not only e-books, but Also audiobooks, apps and games:
Step 1: Check Amazon’s Family Library compatibility page to see if your device is new enough. Some models can manage Family Library settings, while others Merely can access shared content. To make this feature work, you’ll need at least one Kindle que supports the former.
Step 2: Make sure your Kindles have the latest software updates. (If they’re Set to automatically sync, Which They shouldnt be, the update was probably already downloaded and installed by now I checked three Kindle Fire tablets of varying ages. – including the second-gen Fire – and all had Been updated as of Nov. 17.) To find out, locate your device on Amazon’s Kindle software updates page, Then check your device settings to see if the version numbers match up. If you still need to update, the so.
Step 3: On your newer Kindle, the one you ‘re going to use to manage Family Library settings, swipe down from the top of the screen, tap Settings and tap Then Profiles & amp; Family Library.
Step 4: Adult Tap Add, Then hand your Kindle to your spouse, partner or other family member – whoever’s going to share your account and you theirs. (You do not have to hand over Actually the Kindle, you can fill in Their account info if you prefer.) Input the Appropriate e-mail address and password of the other account, Then tap Continue
Step 5:.. Follow the remaining steps to approve your account sharing, payment authorization and so on Along the way you can choose Whether to share all content (apps, audiobooks and books), or just books.
Step 6: Once you’re done, head to the Books section on your Kindle, Then access the Sort option. You shouldnt see a new entry: your family member’s books. Also you shouldnt receive a confirmation email verifying the newly joined “Household.”
And that’s it! You’re sharing your Kindle content. Now Could we just get some decent e-book organization tools, Amazon?
