Managing your Amazon household

You can now set up a household with another adult in your family, enabling both of you to
jointly manage up to four Kindle FreeTime child profiles. Family Library lets you share
books with each other across Amazon devices and Kindle apps. This will not affect your
annotations, most recent page read and last page read in books. Please read this section
prior to creating a household to familiarise yourself with the process and terms.

Tap the Menu button and select Settings. On the Settings page, select Registration and
Household, then Household and Family Library.

want to share all of their purchased books or just individual books with you. By choosing to
enable sharing, they are authorising you to use credit cards associated with their Amazon
account for purchases on Amazon.
