Transfer books between devices

ahavriluk · 11-23-2011, 01:02 PM

Hi!

Is it possible to transfer purchased books between several registered to the same account devices? For example, if I buy a book on Amazon, and have it on my Kindle, is it possible to transfer a book to my wife's Kindle, so she can read it on her device? What if her device is registered on a different account? (I assume in this case only loaning would work?)

Thank you!
Alexander.

If all the Kindles are registered to the same account, all the books will be in the Archive of the devices that don't already have the book(s) downloaded. Just download from the Archive for that Kindle.

Don't know what you mean by "landing". If the book has DRM, and her device is on a different account, and is for a different device, you would have to strip the DRM to use the book on a different device.

I used the wrong word. What I meant was "loaning".

Yes, loaning would work, but not all books are loanable.
