Fast forwards a few years and she’s an adult now.

I’ve got her an updated kindle for Xmas. Should I just reconnect it to my account and let her download all her library or should she setup her own account now and start again.

I also bought myself a kindle for Xmas. First one. I see all of her library in my list which is a pain because I really don’t want recommendations for a teenage daughter and she won’t want my books showing in her library.

I guess I know the answer but it seems a shame for her to go it alone because she will lose all of the old books she’s got. She does like to re-read books. Whole Harry potter series 7 times over. No joke.

I guess there is no way for me to gift her the books I’ve bought on my Amazon account.

Do you have her on your account formally, by setting your account as a Family Account?
If not, you can do it now and she can have her own account but remain linked to yours. And vice versa. She'll be able to keep her existing library and keep growing it on her own.

Make sure to read the comments and check to see if those old issues have been addressed.
