I do not see what problem you would have with the credit card. I have a couple card numbers in my Amazon account. When i want to buy a Kindle ebook, I enable one of them under "one-click", and when I'm done I disable it. The number is still in the account, only not active under "one-click".

It doesn't matter, though. Your method is better.
Hi Nate,
When a title is purchased using one Kindle, Amazon places it in our account's Content Manager and Whispernet downloads it to that device. We have not found a way to download to all devices at one time. Download is something that is done on each device from the menu. The new title appears in the menu of all the Kindles registered to the account because they are using the same Content Manager file at Amazon. However, we have not found a way to automatically download to all devices as content is acquired.
Magazines, newspapers and blogs, which download automatically can only be purchased for a single Kindle, not shared like our book collection.
