Debra, up to 6 kindles can share an account. It doesn’t have to be family – anyone you trust with your account.

Your daughter and you would be able to share each other’s libraries. Also, you could read the same book at the same time. Up to 5 devices can have the same book at the same time.

I am debating about the Kindle2 vs Nook, plan to purchase something this month. I’d like to know more about the Kindle’s family sharing feature (my daughter has a Kindle2). Does that mean we could share each others libraries? What is that feature?

I can not thank you enough for your nook vs kindle reviews. I got that nook fever and ordered mine a while back, expected to come on Christmas.. but after my relative got himself a kindle, I think I will cancel my order after I look at the nook in-store. I got attracted to the glitter of the nook and all that news coverage it got and overlooked alot of important features.

Nook: looks good,SD,more open format, touchscreen?
Kindle: web browsing,text2speech,longer battery life,alot thinner.
Yes, the kindle2 is not new, but its alot cheaper (220$)
and has the almost everything nook does. A touchscreen for me is useless as it will drain the battery and browsing books via e-ink was just fine. I’m a student, so the web browser and greater battery life really got me. Sure it’s slow, but I can browse most news sites and be able to use Wikipedia. I thought the text2speech was crappy, until I tried it. Sure, the female voice isn’t very human sounding
but the male voice sounded perfectly acceptable. Perfect for those breakfast moments..

The kindle definitely has negatives and isn’t perfect, but it wins over nook for me. That’s my two cents. Thank you again for an amazing blog.

(I think I’ll go cancel that order hehe)

Really – would you say being able to lend a book once, for 14 days, to another person is a killer feature?

What would you consider the Kindle’s 6 devices at a time family sharing feature?

It’s a blog. There are comments. Surely someone who thought they were omniscient would leave no room for dissent.

Okay, you are writing this like you are omniscient. It is obvious that people think that lending is a killer feature by the amount of orders the nook has received. Don’t be putting negative comments towards the nook because you already blew away your money on the Kindle.
