How to download a purchased book to all my devices at time of purchase?

quatermass · 07-17-2012, 01:07 PM

This probably has an obvious answer but this Kindle owner of many years can't figure it out. When buying a Kindle book, I want it to download to my Kindle, phone and tablet simultaneously instead of having to go Manage My Devices and downloading them one at a time to each. Surely, there must be a way to do this?

Thanks.

To my knowledge, there isn't. Adding books to different devices/apps must be done from the MYK page or from the archive on each device/app. Although I've haven't noticed many people asking for a global add, you may request it by emailing kindle-feedback@amazon.com.

No option like that is available. I think Amazon could add an item to the Deliver To drop list on the purchase page that read "All My Devices." I doubt they will though because of the extra bandwidth required. But it doesn't hurt to ask them.

If you have too many devices, you may not even be able to load a book on all of them manually: many of Amazon's ebooks have a 6 device limit.

Thanks for the replies. I've written to Amazon about it.
