But the upcharge includes a two-year no-questions-asked replacement guarantee. If your kid smashes it just once, you get your money back. Audible books and Spanish titles are now available, and Amazon's kid selections include popular series like Harry Potter and Phoebe and Her Unicorn. If you're going to get your kid an entertainment device, an ebook reader that doesn't have a browser or access to social media is probably as safe as you can get.
See more in the Paperwhite section above. We're hoping to test it soon. Have a pal who's ready to give up their Kindle? It may work fine for you. Here's a breakdown of every Kindle Amazon has ever made. If you're buying a sixth-generation Kindle Paperwhite or newer, it's probably just fine. You may get fewer pixels, and it may lack Bluetooth for audiobooks or any semblance of waterproofing, but older Kindles generally hold up well for reading—even used or refurbished.
Just deregister an old Kindle and wipe it , then load up your account. This page shows the newest software each Kindle should run. As a general rule, if there are any buttons on the front of a Kindle or a keyboard, don't shell out money for it. If properly updated it may still work, but you're going to enjoy the experience much more with a newer device.
You must link each device running the Kindle application to a specific Amazon account, just as you link your Amazon account with individual Kindles. You can synchronize multiple devices that share a Kindle account. To do this, make sure you are connected wirelessly with the Kindle or online with other devices when you finish a reading session.
This keeps the account up to date. As long as you do this, any time you open a Kindle book, you go automatically to the furthest page in the book to which you have read across all your Kindles and other devices -- a tremendous convenience for those reading one book on multiple devices. If more than one person is reading the same book on devices linked to the same account, however, this can be annoying.
The solution is log in to your Amazon account and visit the "Manage Your Kindle" page to switch off the synchronization. Each book defines a limit of how many devices are linked to the same account. The standard limit is six, but some publishers insist on a lower limit; which is stated when you buy the e-book. Sometimes what happens is you may forget that you have the book downloaded to apps or devices that you no longer use.
I just download to the Amazon Cloud. Never had a problem. I have a lot of books. I never have a problem. The bottom-line is that it is a ridiculously arbitrary and stupid limitation. If you buy the right to read the book then you ought to be allowed to read that book on whatever device you own. The thing about ridiculous limitations is that they tend not to survive.
I downloaded kindle onto my tablet and tried to buy a new book. Stupid alright. If you download to one device and then hit the limit is it possible to 'officially remove' the book from one device so you can read it on another, newer device? Also, is there a way to see how many 'devices are remaining' for an ebook or when purchasing an ebook is there a way to see how many devices it supports? To keep within the limit, you may want to deregister an old device that you no longer read on for instance, you may have put the Kindle reading app on a laptop that you've since replaced.
When you select any of the devices you've read from, a "Deregister" link is available that removed the device from your list. You should be able to remove a book from one device and download onto another after reaching your limit as long as both devices are connected to the internet, but there's no guarantee.
There does not seem to be a way to see how many devices are left. Kindle is working as USB drive after connecting to computer, so you can copy any e-books to and from the device. In that way you can copy your e-book to the unlimited number of devices, though it requires some more work. I personally use that way, because I want to have full controll over the e-books I have. In case of books with DRM protection you'd need to remove that protection for some people it may be a bit controversial, but they are wrong - it's the principe that you should have full control over your property for which you have paid.
