If I have 2 Amazon Kindles registered to my name will books that I purchase on Amazon.com be downloaded to both Kindles?

Tip for best answer: M$1.12
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Hi Oceanview, and welcome to Mahalo.
The answer is 'Sometimes'. Normally, ebooks you buy on Amazon will be downloaded to only one of your Kindles.

However, there are ways around that: If you register both Kindles on the same account, with the same credit card for purchases, the ebooks acually WILL be downloaded to all of your registered Kindles, up to six ones.

If the Kindles are not sharing the same account, they cannot share ebooks.

Check out this youtube video on an instruction on how to share books on the Kindle:

As an alternative, you can use Calibre, a free software, that lets you manage all ebooks on all your ebook reading devices (Kindle, iPad, smartphone, or other). A highly recommended tool.
You can find that one here:

Two Kindles sharing the same account will not automatically have the books you buy downloaded to them. The book will be downloaded to the Kindle you are using when you buy the book. If you'd like the book on the second Kindle as well, you can manually download it at no extra charge.
