Paperwhite-non amazon download files not available in family library
Hello ,
I have copied non amazon downloaded files in az3 format to kindle paperwhite, I can see it in my library All / Downloaded, however I am trying to setup kids profile by going to settings -> household &family library and selecting a child dropdown and library, I cannot see the copied files , all I can see are downloaded from Amazon, need help in sorting this so I can assign books to profiles. I also tried mobi format it is the same. Thankyou. |

That is how Amazon designed it. A child profile cannot see anything not from Amazon.
Same rules for books. Videos on fire tablets.. it's not unreasonable for Amazon's line to be: if you want us to maintain a safe environment for a child then all content must come from and be age rated by us. |

the workaround - is: don't use the for kids/ child profile stuff. give them an " adult" profile but combine that with your choice of password protected parental controls
e.g. you can lock out the kindle store, social media access etc. that way and still have a functioning " for books" device that you can sideload. on a PW d you don't have video to worry about , but if you did - e.g. on a fire tablet or tv- there are separate age related controls over when a PIN is needed to view. Which can also be done outside of actual child profile |
