Four children sit together on the floor of a craft room reading, beside a row of colorful Kindle covers and a Kindle e-reader showing the first page of a book. — A group of young readers shares books in a playroom, shown with a lineup of kids' Kindle cases and a Kindle displaying a chapter opening.

People who read books on Kindle naturally tend to buy most of their ebooks from Amazon.com. They also get handed down to other family members, and before you know it, there are multiple Kindles within a single household. Fortunately, Amazon makes it easy to manage digital content for the entire family.

Amazon provides a feature called Family Library. It allows books to be shared between two adult accounts, and children can be added as child profiles as part of an adult's account.
