About Family Library

Create a Household

In order to use Family Library to share your content with another adult in your household, you must join an Amazon Household together. Members of an Amazon Household include:

• Two adults, each with their own Amazon account.
• Up to four children. Child profiles are created as part of an adult’s account.

1. Go to Manage Your Content and Devices and sign in to your account.
2. From the Settings tab, select Invite Adult under Households and Family Library.
3. Have the other adult sign in to their Amazon account.

   Note: Amazon Households and Family Library require a unique Amazon account for each adult. If the other adult doesn't already have their own Amazon account, they can create one during this step.

4. Once the second adult signs in or creates their account, select Yes to share your payment methods, Amazon content and services, and management of any child profiles. Select No to only share management of any child profiles.

• Kindle e-readers: Kindle Voyage Help, Kindle Paperwhite 1st Generation Help, Kindle Paperwhite (6th Generation) Help, Kindle Paperwhite (7th Generation) Help, and Kindle (7th Generation) Help.
• Fire tablets: Fire Tablets (5th Generation), Fire Tablets (4th Generation), Fire Tablets (3rd Generation)

Share Your Content

You can start sharing content after setting up your Amazon Household and enabling Family Library.

To share Kindle books, apps and games, and audiobooks through Family Library:

1. Go to Manage Your Content and Devices and click the Your Content tab.
2. Check the box next to the content you'd like to share, and then click Add to Library.
   Tip: If you do not see the Add to Library button, select Show Family Library.
3. Choose the adult or FreeTime profile you'd like to share the selected content with, and then click OK.

Access Shared Content on Your Device or App

Once you’ve set up Family Library, you and the other adult in your Amazon Household will be able to see any shared Kindle books, apps, and audiobooks in the Cloud or Archived Items tab on any of the compatible Amazon devices and Kindle reading apps registered to your Amazon accounts.

You can access content shared through Family Library on many Amazon devices and Kindle reading apps, though you may need to enable your device to view shared content from Manage Your Content and Devices or the Family Library settings on a compatible device first. To learn more, go to Devices and Apps Compatible with Family Library.

On select Fire tablets, Kindle e-readers, and Amazon Fire TV, you can share content with your children through the FreeTime app.

Leave a Household

To leave an Amazon Household and stop sharing all of your content:

1. From Manage Your Content and Devices, go to Settings.
2. Hover your mouse over the name of the adult you'd like to remove from your household, and then click Remove [NAME] from Household.
3. Click Remove Profile to continue, or Cancel to keep them in your Household.

Note: If either adult leaves the Amazon Household, both adults will be unable to join another Amazon Household for 180 days. If you’ve accidentally left an Amazon Household and are trying to join an Amazon Household with the same person you were previously in an Amazon Household with, please contact Customer Service for assistance by clicking the Contact Us button.
