Why you could let your child read one of your purchased eBooks but not your teen, I do not know. Weirdly (and I don’t know the reasoning for this), you can’t share content with a teen profile in your household. You can also add eBooks or audiobooks on a case-by-case basis to a child’s FreeTime account if they’re in your household (you can see instructions on how to do that here) but all your content won’t suddenly appear in their library. Once that’s done, when you open the Audible app or your Kindle, you’ll see their content in your library as well and you can read or listen at will! (It won’t mess up their reading or listening because you’re each using your own accounts and devices and it is smart enough to know that you’re different people). You can turn those on for both people or one person but not both (so you might share your audiobooks to the Amazon Family Library but the other person doesn’t share their audiobooks). Once that’s done, you’ll be able to turn on Amazon Family Library sharing for any of the following categories: Apps/Games, Audiobooks, and eBooks.

Some random person you went to high school with? Probably not. Obviously, this part means you’ll want it to be someone you really trust.

You’ll see your account and the option to add another adult.Ĭhoose “Manage Your Family Library” and it’ll first require you to share your debit/credit card access for your account. You can choose who that other adult is so it might be your spouse but it could also be your mom or sister or friend who has a terrific digital library that you’d like to share. This allows you to share your Kindle books and audiobooks (and apps, but I don’t care much about those) with someone else for my favorite price.

You can also add up to four children’s profiles to your Amazon Household.įree shipping and video streaming is all well and good, but the great part of Amazon Household is the Amazon Family Library. You basically connect two adult Amazon accounts together and they can share benefits (including Prime shipping, Prime Video streaming, and Amazon First Reads). Are you familiar with how Amazon Household works?
