If you want to add an e-book to your child’s Freetime account, it’s more complicated than delivering it to the device after you buy it. I cannot find any documentation, so this is how I did it:
- Visit www.amazon.com. Log in if you haven’t already.
- Hover over Accounts & Lists and select Your Content and Devices.
- Click Show Family Library.
- Place a checkmark next to all books you want to share with your child’s Freetime account.
- Click Add to Library.
- At the bottom of the Add to Library dialog, select the child you want to have the books.
- Press OK.
(EDIT (2020-08-07): This paragraph may be an unnecessary step. Let me know in the comments.) After that, you then need to pick up your kid’s device and exit Freetime. Restart Freetime, and when you do so, you’ll check the box for the book you just purchased.
This worked for me. Thank you!
Ditto! Thanks Aren! About to lose the rest of my hair trying to make the transfer after the kindle upgrade and unfriendly kindle apparatus. Thanks Again!
what about books that are NOT in my library but are listed as free with freetime
did you ever get an answer to your question?
yes would also like to know how to do this
Can it be done from the kindle itself or the ap on the phone?
Thank you! I would never have figured that out in a million years!
I’ve tried to share my books with my teen, but the show family Library / add family library is not appearing at all under my account.
Can I share books only with adults?
What about books you don’t own, but have gotten from a Library app on loan, such as Overdrive?
