>>>John, have you tried Kindle Family Library? You can share books easily that way

>So it says... but did you try it? Family profiles are sub-profiles under yours and aren't real accounts so kids lose access to books they've bought on their own account, plus now they need your assistance and/or passwords to get new books. Apple's version that links actual accounts of family members, is better.

Yes, we use it ... but, not for kids (mine are all grown). Gary and I use it to share our books and I assumed it would work similarly for kids as it does for the two adult family members. I guess not.
