Compliment Kindle Fire HD?

retired2011

I have a Kindle Fire HD which I mainly use for reading books, my wife however uses it to play games and gets irritated when I read books and she cannot play her games.

She does also reads books, even the same ones that I read.

So I need another Kindle Fire HD.

Of course since I won't be playing games I really just need a book reader.

What should I get so that I can easily transfer books from the Kindle Fire HD to or does it not work that way and I would need to buy/download 2 copies of each book.

Well, if you just buy a Kindle E-reader for yourself, and register it to the same Amazon account as the Kindle Fire, then all the same books will be there available to you.

The same goes for any device registered to the same Amazon account, including PCs.
I think you can have any book on 6 devices simultaneously.

Also if you buy another kindle device and use the same amazon account it will remeber which page you were on, so I have an kindle e-reader and a kindle HD, if I ready up to page 50 on my e-reader then close the book, I can then open the book on the Kindle HD and it will know where I was, then when I go back to the e-reader it will continue from where I stopped reading on the kindle HD - very clever.

That might not suit the OP, if he and his wife are reading the same book?
Might lead to more squabbling?

We do that when reading the same physical book.

If you buy the kindle E Reader (currently £59) for yourself, & register it to the same Amazon Kindle account you can download books to both devices.

Go to Manage Your Kindle on the account page to download to 2nd device & then choose Manage your Devices (left hand column) & ensure that device synchronisation is turned off.

Then each book on each device will bookmark last page read separately.
