Amazon Prime Reading/Kindle Unlimited

[fourteen85]

When I took out my Prime subscription some years ago my wife shares the benefits of using prime for deliveries, prime reading etc, If I take out a subscprition for Kindle unlimited does that work the same way IE will my wife be able to share the subscription? Thanks for any answers.

As you can download the books to any and every device, you can both download books to your own readers.  However, it does state in their terms and conditions "You may not transfer your membership or any Kindle Unlimited benefits to anyone else."

So your wife would have to log in to your account.

Do you download books from the public libraries, fourteen?  That's where we get most of our books from.

No Barry, I didnt know you could do that, sadly we do not use our library, I will investigate. thanks . My wife does share the kindle account though so it looks like we maybe ok for her using an unlimited mambership should I take one out, library first step though, thank you

We're registered with libraries in three counties - magazines as well as books can be downloaded.  You can reserve books if they are not available.

I get a daily email with free and very cheap ebooks

Mostly rubbish but a few worth downloading every week

A side question (sorry) if anyone knows. I'm not on Prime, never intend to be. "Bought" a £0 book recently. Saw something or other about having to use Kindle to read it. I already had the Kindle app but I was directed to reload (from Play Store IIRC) again for some reason (?). That worked, but barry, you mention above it can be downloaded to any device. That might be useful since I have a small selection of apps that can open documents. But I'm unsure how one connects other apps to a book that appears to be stored on Amazon. Or am I mistaken, has the book been downloaded to my device somewhere ? Or is there a URL I have to put into the other apps to find it ?

 

TIA.

You need the kindle app on your device or the ability to convert the Kindle book to .epub or other format .  I prefer epub

Cheers. I'll try a seach on the mobile phone search to see if the book has downloaded. If I can't find it I'll try a websearch later today to see if I can find where it is on Amazon.

 

(Update. As I'm in the middle of the book on the mobile, when I go there I just see the last page I read. So I had a check on the tablet. It seems I had to log in to Amazon from it's Kindle, and allegedly I have a Kindle e-mail address (!?!). Unsure if I can log into Amazon on other document reader apps, but I'll carry on experimenting. Would be easier if books downloaded to the memory card.)

 

I'll leave this for now, and thanks for fourteen's tolerance regarding the diversion.
