The main weekly interview for Len Edgerly's popular Friday podcast, The Kindle Chronicles, this week is with Len's wife Darlene and her friend/sister Deb, and the focus is on how they share their Kindle books on Darlene's account. THE KINDLE CHRONICLES PODCAST THIS WEEK - Sharing a Kindle Account I've mentioned in an earlier article that some take care of this with reimbursements via Paypal if the account owner has no interest in the book someone sharing that account ordered. This arrangement involves a lot of trust as the others sharing the account can purchase a Kindle book while the account owner pays for it. When the device is registered to that owner's account, the understanding is that the account owner owns the device.
The ability to share books under one account with up to 5 other Kindle-related devices is a popular topic on the various Kindle forums, as Amazon allows a Kindle book to be shared by up to 6 Kindle-related devices under one person's account, with the owner of that account responsible for all purchases/downloads of Kindle books for those devices.
