That would seem to remove the need to have two names on a single account? |
I have shared content with my brother. While you can play all of his stuff, you can't download the books and remove DRM in order to store in Calibre. Has to be done from his account (which I do periodically). It's also a tad more complex as he doesn't have an ereader any longer, but a Fire. So, I registered one of my Basic Kindles with his account just so that I can do that.
Furthermore, you can't share with another family account. Your limit is TWO and you can't switch between 3 accounts without getting blocked for 6 months. My late sister wanted to listen to the Harry Potter series my brother owned, so I had to give her MY Fire to listen to it since we couldn't hook her account with his or mine. Fortunately, while officially Amazon has a 10 device limit, in actual practice, it doesn't seem to matter how many you have.
The limit is simultaneously using the same file (i.e. reading the same ebook or audiobook).
Is this where I admit my device addiction?
But, but, I share with family members too!!!
