Sorry - I should have phrased my question more clearly.

I took your original question to mean:
If I have books in my library on Amazon can my kids see all the books and be able to read them?
To this I answer yes, every book in your amazon library is available to every registered device. I thought you were asking because you had some books you didn't want your children to have access to.

That's part of it - there may well be some books in my library which dealt with themes that wouldn't be ideal for my (young) children to see. Just being able to choose which books are on which device is the main thing, though.

But, from the above it seems like your question is:
Can I decide which books from my Amazon library are on which device?
That answer to that is YES. Your Amazon library contains 100% of your purchased books. You can "send" them to any device you choose. You can also on any device list your "archive" and d/l just those books you want locally on the device.

That's a very clear summary - thanks for the help!

So, perhaps I misunderstood you original question.
Syncing is not how you get books to your Kindle. At least when I talk about "sync" or "Whishpersync" I am talking about the sharing of last read position, bookmarks, highlights and notes. It is this syncing that you can't define. For example, if you enable syncing and you and your spouse are reading the same book on separate devices then you are going to have problems.

OK - understood.
Quote:
As I said, there is no way to pair devices. I can't for example specify that my Kindle syncs with My Mac but not my sons iPod or my wifes PC. Whispersync is all or nothing.
I hope that clears up my answer to you.
