multiple Kindles to 1 amazon account & foreign books (Thai)

yankgirl · 01-26-2012, 10:17 AM

I'm hoping someone here can help me with this....

I just bought a K4 for my dad to take with him on his trip to Thailand. I already have a K2 and a KT. Now when I go onto amazon.com to look at books, they have my dad's kindle listed. Does anyone know if there is a way to have it that the KT is listed first? I'm the only one that will be purchasing books and they will be mostly for the KT. - hope that all makes sense!

2nd question....does anyone know where I can get books printed in Thai for my mom to read? She'll be sharing the Kindle with my dad. I'm not even sure if the kindle would support the font. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks!~

The default Kindle fonts support Thai, however, since Amazon doesn't sell Thai books, you'll most likely have to buy ebooks in other formats and convert them to the mobi format with Calibre.

In the drop-down menus when you buy books, etc. e-ink Kindles are listed first alphabetically, then apps (like the Fire). You can change the name of one of the Kindles so that the other one comes first alphabetically.

It shouldn't be a problem with the position of the kindle in your account list. When you buy a book you can select the device you want it delivered. I have two kindles and the kindle PC and iPad applications,and I haven't had any problems. Valentin Bazavan

I agree with Susan. Change the name of the Kindle you want to be first so it is alphabetically the first one on the list.
