Can you share kindle books using family sharing?

Hi Charlie42,

Happy New Year! The link below explains how you can tell which purchased content is available to share using Family Sharing. Contact Amazon for more specifics regarding sharing their content. The Kindle app itself may be shareable, but the books may be considered an In-App purchase, making them not shareable. Amazon would be able to give you a definitive answer.

Which purchased content can I share using Family Sharing

After you set up Family Sharing, the eligible songs, albums, movies, TV shows, books, and apps purchased by family members will be available to everyone else in the group. Learn what you can share with your family members.

If you turned on Share My Purchases, you can share most content that's also available in iTunes in the Cloud. You can share Music, Movies, and TV shows from the iTunes Store. You can also share Books that you downloaded from the iBooks Store, and apps from the App Store. The availability of each content type depends on your country.

There are a few things that you can't share:

• Songs added to iTunes Match from outside the iTunes Store
• In-App Purchases
• Items that are no longer available on the iTunes Store
• Items that were hidden
• Apps that aren't shareable

If you're on an Apple TV, you can't access shared music.

Use these steps to see if you can share an app before or after you get it.

If one of your family members received their content through Apple ID for Students, you won’t see it in their shared purchases. This includes apps and other content distributed through the school.

Family Sharing requires a personal Apple ID signed in to iCloud and iTunes. Music, movies, TV shows, and books can be downloaded on up to 10 devices per account, five of which can be computers. iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite are required to set up or join a Family Sharing group and are recommended for full functionality. Not all content is eligible for Family Sharing. Content can be hidden by family members; hidden content is not available for download. Content downloaded from family members or acquired via redemption codes is not subject to Ask to Buy.
