ok but I think the kindle-for-tablet apps work differently. I am fairly sure that I had books on tablet, downloaded from one amazon account, then I unlinked ( but did not delete the app) in order to add amazon app store which I then needed to link to a different amazon account. I think that all the locally stored books went away as soon as I de-linked
I then found that I can't have amazon app store linked to one account & also amazon kindle android app linked to a different amazon account on the same device. It seems that for tablets, Amazon link at device level, so the option of "link only this app to a different account" just leads to a registration error.
but kindle for PC is a registration within the pc program , not for the whole PC, so that can be changed as often as you like, I believe. possible with 2 or more windows users, each with their own logins, you could have 2 or more accounts linked, even ?
some more advanced android tablets also support multi user, but I don't have one of those
So you need to learn the rules for your book store and for your device.
it would be a simple PC test if I could be bothered. just get a free kindle book, download it to PC, then go to the manage my kindle amazon web page & delete it from my library, ( which they say means gone for good) - then see if it was still on the PC, I could expend that test to include my Kindle Fire tablet. but maybe someone has already done that & will post the answers
