I suppose you could try to be specific. If they could, Amazon would be happy to have only one Amazon.com but governments wouldn't like that. Book publishers wouldn't like that. Customers would like it but what do governments care about customers or taxpayers.

I'm starting a new religion. You'll be able to take your Kindle with you and my heaven has WiFi, fiber optics, too, and guaranteed to stay state-of-the-art. I'll let you know where to send your checks shortly. Before you decide, keep in mind that Hell has dial-up access at 300 baud and it's totally unreliable.

What happens to my digital content when I die
I think this discussion belongs in the Politics and Religion forum.

But it is still fun to toy with the various aspects of the original topic. I suspect that having a little bit of fun outside of the "Lounge" forum is against the site guidelines. Sooner or later, someone will come along and tell us to go play outside. |

Go play outside!
But seriously, my only quibble with the location of this thread is that General Discussions might be more appropriate. It's hardly a kindle-specific topic. |

It did start out as Kindle-specific.
I suppose we could drag it back to its original Kindle-specific form. Last edited by knc1; 06-13-2017 at 11:28 AM. |

Actually it never was about Kindle. It was about Amazon and cloud storage.
I think we would get more ideas if it was in General Discussion. My idea is share now and label. |

https://www.thedocsafe.com/ Although I am always skeptical of sites that make it hard to access their pricing. = = = = In addition to the $2.50/month or $25.00/year plan, the cloud service linked to in my signature also offers a "multi-user" plan (at the higher cost of a 'business plan'). I.E: Where "multi-user" might be yourself + your heirs (just don't give them their credentials until your dead and gone). Last edited by knc1; 06-13-2017 at 11:49 AM. |

continuation of digital access is easy to accomplish. hypothetically, i can give my offspring full access to my account when i die. said offspring would just then change the credit card that is used to fund the account. whether this is legal or not is another question.

The legal system lags behind reality by a good bit, no hard and fast guidelines (or requirements) seem to have been set yet. |

with virgin media is a bit more complicated. There has to be a single primary contact email , who can then create other email addresses. so my wifes' virginmedia email is created as part of my acccount. Under heir rules , if a change of ownership occurs e.g. my account taken over by her, all email address are deleted, so hers is wiped and cannot be retained or transferred. They would probbaly incompetently manage to lose the virgin phone landline number also Re Josie and Steve at amazon - I did not fully follow how that came to be set up - can you do a for dummies process on how to create a similar one please |

I keep a file with all my passwords to all my accounts, user name, email, all updated. My wife and daughter will have that. 6 weeks ago I had a major operation and I made sure my wife knew where all my passwords could easily be found. It is not just about digital media--though you want them to have access to that, I have lots of files, genealogy info, etc., that I want them to have access to. So probably the simplest way is to have all your account info in one safe place that provides easy access to them.
I like this older article about ebooks after death: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/11/op...en-you-do.html |

Our Amazon account is at least 8 years old. We set it up with one email address, one physical address, but two addresses labels (for want of a better word) on the account, one for Mrs Josie and one for Mr Steve, both the same physical address. Then we made the name on the top of the account page Josie and Steve. so when Amazon ring us up they ask am I speaking with Josie and Steve, whichever one of us answers says yes. Amazon may well be under the illusion we are both one person, and it's one single account, but we both have the account details and password, and we both actively use it, with multiple kindles, Fires etc. |
