Buying Two Kindle Fires
Hi, is it best to buy two kindles from the same account, or one from mine and one from my OH's?
I've read that both devices would be linked to my amazon account if I ordered them from mine. I've also read that we can 'link' accounts meaning we can share purchases? Can someone explain please, really confused! Thanks |

Thanks You could have the Kindles on one account if your reading tastes are very different and you can always use bookmarks if you're worried that OH might start looking at the end of the novel that you've only just started. You can turn off the cloud based functions and use the Kindles as offline standalone devices and just go online to make purchases or update the OS or surf the net but you'll have problems if you want to use a Kindle app to read books on your smartphone or another tablet. Hope that helps. |

You can buy from one account if it is more comfortable for you. You can always re-register with another account later. Also sync across devices can be turned off. With one account you share the library, with two you have to work around that. If you always use the same device for reading you don't have to worry about whether the last read page is synchronised or not, just turn it off.
