Hi,
There was a thread on here a while back which told how kindles can be linked and downloads shared. I'm afraid I didn't understand how it works, can anyone explain it so I (being old and a little scared of trying techno stuff) can try it please?

Can't get the website to work COsmos, can you link it please.

Having said that, I download booksnon .mobi format all the time from other sites and copy them via USB to my kindle. I can email them to others to do the same it's just the ebooks from Amazon you can't share

I wanted to do this and couldn't work it out. I emailed amazon and the responded to say the facility wasn't working yet but they would pass on my comments to the developers. I don't think they have sussed a way to share in a secure manner yet I.e without books bring shared and copied all over the place

Rather annoying
