I’m familiar with this problem and it’s not made easy by Amazon but it is possible. The first thing I tried for this problem was the Family Library feature for sharing books between other accounts in your household. This is set up in the Amazon account holder’s settings for Amazon under ‘Amazon Household’. Once you have set up your other account(s) as part of your Amazon Household you can then add books to share in ‘Manage Your Content and Devices’.

No – that won't work (although that feature would be lovely for non-families too). In that case you need to remove the DRM protection. I use Calibre e-book management software with the DeDRM plugin to remove Amazon DRM protection from downloaded books, which can then be converted to whatever format is required to transfer the e-book to the other Amazon account holder by email or USB. There are plenty of online tutorials to guide you through removing Amazon DRM using Calibre.

Note that, because of the way Amazon handle ebooks, there are limitations on transferring Kindle books from one account to another. The easiest way to share Kindle books is to add the other account to your Amazon Household, and then share books by adding them to your Family Library from Manage Your Content and Devices, then select the book(s) you want to share, and click Add to Family Library.

For accounts outside of your household, you will need to remove the DRM from your books. I download all of my Kindle books to my computer and manage them with Calibre, which is a free ebook management tool. I then use the DeDRM plugin for Calibre to remove the DRM from my Kindle books. Once the DRM has been removed from a book, I convert it to a format such as EPUB or PDF and email it to the account that the book was transferred for.

Alternatively, you can try contacting Amazon support and they will be able to transfer the book to your account. I have had success in the past transferring books from accounts that have been deleted or that the account holder is unable to access. Good luck!

Amazon’s approach to DRM (Digital Rights Management) for Kindle books means that they are locked to the Amazon account of the person who bought them. To move Kindle books between accounts, I’ve found it’s a bit of a nightmare. The easiest way to transfer Kindle books to another account is to use Amazon’s Family Library feature. This allows you to add up to 6 accounts in total to share Kindle books with other adults in your household.

Transferring content to an account outside of your household can involve removal of DRM from your book using software such as Calibre with the DeDRM plugin. Note however that the removal of DRM from Amazon Kindle books may be a breach of Amazon’s Terms of Service and should therefore be used with caution.

How to transfer books between Amazon Kindle accounts?

As someone who always looks at things from an accessibility perspective, my concern is that someone who is vision impaired and reads Amazon-exclusive titles on their Kindle with the specific fonts they prefer could be prohibited from having access to that content because it is tied to a family member’s email account. While the Household feature is a good first step, the process of adding others to a Household is unclear and can be confusing for non-tech-savvy individuals. Amazon should develop an easier, more disability-friendly way to grant access to content to caregivers and dependents in those situations. As it stands now, the all-or-nothing Household model does not appear to have been designed with these types of scenarios in mind. It is designed for and works best for the typical, tech-savvy, two-adult Household. Real life is messier than that.

How to transfer kindle books to download to another device?

I have found many people to misunderstand this function because Kindle books are not simple files that one can email to themselves. Kindle books are protected by Digital Rights Management and are meant to be read within Amazon’s eco-system. Therefore, to download books previously purchased, one simply registers a new device to their Amazon account and all of their prior purchases will download. I find it is like having a Netflix account. One does not transfer a movie from one TV to another. Instead, one simply logs into Netflix on the new TV. This also applies to books that have been borrowed from Prime Reading or from Kindle Unlimited. Those books will only download if one currently has an active membership.
