However, all of the 6 registered Kindles can use the Content manager to d/l the ebook once it is in your media library. The only limitation with ONE kindle is subscriptions. They are only sent/encrypted to one specific Kindles. If you want to read Newsweek on two kindles for example you have to buy two (although I think someone maybe said you can d/l it and put it on all Kindles. I'm unsure of this). BOb |

Getting back to the topic, what happens when you lose your Kindle and Amazon no longer supports it? As P.T. Barnum said, "There's a sucker born every minute." |

Thanks for the correction BOb. It looks as though subscriptions can be shared as well.

Or you do it yourself? But if you delete the book manually, how does Amazon know? suppose you live in an area without connection... |

As far as what happens with the folks not in a Whispernet area, I don't know the answer, I think you're going to have to contact Amazon on that one. |

You can store them locally... but personally I am not worried about Amazon going away.

Seeing how many of my pBooks are getting replaced by eBooks, and the fact that I own some pBooks that are older than I am yet are still readable, I'm not overly worried about my pBooks. |

I think there may be a bit of misunderstanding when it comes to sharing books between Kindles. I have two on my account and I can't just copy a book from one to the other. I can go to my Media Library and have it sent to mine and my husband's. I can download it to my computer from the Media Library but when I do so, I specify which Kindle it's for. If I download one for my Kindle, I can't just load it on my husband's and have it be readable. It appears that each copy you download is encrypted with a single PID.

From the amazon kindle support page
"Content from the Kindle Store: Most books and other non-subscription items you purchase from the Kindle store may be downloaded to up to six Kindles registered to the same Amazon.com account. If you have exceeded your download limit, you must purchase an additional copy of the title. Subscription content can only be downloaded to one Kindle at a time, and only the seven most recent issues will be available for redownload in the Kindle Content Manager or from Your Media Library." Now, as I read this, you can have one book on all 6 kindles, right? |

I had to email amazon because I had heard different versions.........here is their answer.... "Hello from Amazon.com. Thank you for your inquiry regarding multiple Kindles registered to one account. Because each Kindle will have downloaded its own version of the same book, all 6 can read the same book at once. Please contact us again if have any other questions. Please let us know if this e-mail resolved your question:" Alisa, if you can't read yours on both Kindles at the same time, you might want to contact Amazon and find out why. And, by the way, I got the answer to my email within 1 hour. Great customer support. Last edited by desertgrandma; 10-16-2008 at 07:51 PM. Reason: addendum |
