That wouldn't really help the situation at all. I want him to be able to check out library books directly on the device. Linking his account to mine doesn't do that. He'll still have to go to a computer, browse the library. First he has to remember the sign in. It would just be convenient for him. For me, I don't care. I got all the nice plug ins on goodreads where I can see each book and at what library it is available of my 3.
It was just a thought. But I don't think one can put more than one library on a kobo.
As to the linking. I'd never do that. Doesn't have anything to do with trust. We are both adults with our own CC, own way of buying stuff, etc.
I had the kindle on my account when I gave it to him. He did not want to see all the books in the cloud. I own over 3000. Then he also depleted my gift card I saved up to buy my books.
. And some of those books he could have gotten from the library. But he wants to get it when he wants.
I do not want to share payment info at all. Because we use different cards for different purposes. He also sometimes ships stuff to his work and knowing him, he'd hit the buy button without checking the address.
We are linked in the old way. I guess its grandfathered in as its not an option anymore. He only shares prime shipping, prime now and prime video. That was the old way. If I ever unlink that I am sure it would be gone. There was no sharing of CC or anything. I can't see his and he can't see mine. That is how I like it.
