Multiple kindles
hello, I'm brogue and I have a Kindle 3G and have been reading for several weeks. I'm interested in purchasing a second because of the conflicts in usage of the present one. Questions: Can books be exchanged between the two kindles? Do the two have to be the same (both Wi-Fi, or both 3G)? Will my kindle account with Amazon handle both kindles?
Thank you for sharing any experiences you have had.

Welcome.

You can have as many as you want registered to the same account. Some books will be limited in the number of devices they can be used simultaneously, but I think even the low end of that limitation is five devices at a time.

The two devices don't need to be the same. Personally I have a Kindle 3 (3G+WiFi), a Kindle 2, 2 copies of Kindle 4 PC, a copy of Kindle 4 Mac and 2 copies of Kindle 4 Android on my account and the books on the account can be read on any of those devices. I often have the same book on my K3 and my Android phone for example.
