@ Jon Oz…Register all 3 kindles to one user and the content is available on all three devices.

books online are great, wether they are e-books or conventional hardbound and paperback books *~.

Great post, thanks. I am just getting into the whole e-book thing, so I’m not an expert, but the way I see it, Kindle does allow you to link more than one reading device to your account. At the moment I read a book that I bought from them parallel on my Kindle for PC and Kindle for Android. When I buy an actual reading device and register it under my Amazon account, the book will be readable there as well. So I see no problem at all in getting a bunch of Kindle e-readers, registering them all under the same account and handing them over to different members of my family. I do not think that would be a violation of any moral or legal terms.

That will not, however, solve the issue of lending out a book in a good oldfashioned way.

@JohnOz…as of right now Kindle apparently doesn’t allow book sharing but the B&N Nook does. I’m torn as I’m about to enter the e-reader market and I really like many of the features on the Kindle BUT it apparently doesn’t have a SD card slot and it doesn’t allow lending.

Guess I’ll sit on my hands a couple more weeks and see if the upgraded Kindle coming out this month has incorporated these things. Otherwise I guess I’m into buying 2 Nooks for me and a friend.

I don’t actually own a Kindle, so I don’t know the answer to that question.

Interesting reading on this subject as I soooo want to have an answer before I buy (maby three Kindles – 1 for me, 1 for partner and 1 for son) as we are avid readers and (mainly) have similar reading tastes. Can we share the same ebooks at the same time or not at the same time or not at all. This is not clear from the siries of posts.
