Please can someone help me sharing books on Kindles?

Firstly, if you can help please could you explain very simply as my brain doesn’t work that well atm? thank you.

I use the Kindle app on my iPad and DD has just been given a Kindle for her birthday. When I googled previously it said books could be shared under family sharing, like Prime video etc. Brilliant. I have a lot of books she’d like to share which is why we bought her the kindle.

However, how in the name of God do you actually DO this? I’ve gone to family sharing etc, she already has a profile there but obviously her new kindle has a brand new kindle email address and we cannot work out how to add that. she’s also set as a child with a cute profile pic (she’s 25 Blush) but it didn’t ask her for kindle email. So that’s not helped!

We are both at a loss. Please can anyone help? We would be very grateful! Thank you in advance.

Can you add a new kid to your Amazon family, profile named as her initials rather than her name on your Prime Video etc? I think any kindle device is compatible with a kid or an adult profile and I can send any books I like to a Kid account.

Thank you to all, thought I would give you an update! DD has decided she will just have her own account and she can borrow ebooks from our local library plus share her account with one of her siblings.

Down side is I now also want a lovely new small light kindle now 🫣 despite having a perfectly good iPad! It’s so cute and lovely…
