If you are not aware, you can easily share Kindle books between family members, however, you will need to set up an Amazon Household first. You will not just be able to share Prime benefits, creating an Amazon Household will also grant you access to Family Library, a shared collection of books and audiobooks downloaded on Kindle application and devices.
As soon as all the accounts under the Household approve the setup, books will be automatically shared between the several devices involved. An Amazon Household can be created online or straight on your Kindle and without Family Library, you can also share some eligible Kindle books by borrowing the title for a 14-day period.

How Can I Create An Amazon Household And Set Up A Family Library?
If you want to set up a Family Library, you will need to create an Amazon Household, which requires 2 adult accounts. Household accounts can handle about 4 teen and 4 child profiles. Teen accounts are strictly users ages 13 to 17, child accounts are anyone 12 years old and younger, and they both adhere to the settings and payment information set by the adults in the home.
With Family Library, you will be able to share your previous Kindle purchases plus future additions with members in the Amazon Household, regardless of which devices they use to access the titles. You and the remaining members in Amazon Household can even read the same book simultaneously without disturbing one another for as long as possible. Adhere to the instructions below:
- Access the Amazon site on any browser you fancy.
- Tap “Account & Lists” under the greeting and your name.
- Tap “Manage content and devices.”
