SHARE BOOKS WITH YOUR
SIGNIFICANT OTHER
Not the only Kindle owner in your family? You’re
in luck! Amazon allows a maximum of two adults
per family to share Kindle eBooks with one
another. So, if your partner buys an ebook from
the Kindle Store, you can read it too, for free. Just
log in to Amazon’s website and go to your
Account Settings > Your Content & Devices.
Click Households And Family Library. From here,
choose your Family library sharing settings.OPEN LIBRARY
A project of the Internet Archive, Open Library(go.pcworld.com/oli) provides access to well
over one million free ebooks. It bills its offerings
as “the world’s classic literature at your finger-
tips,” but that doesn’t mean it’s a museum of
moldy oldies. While you’ll find enough literary
canon to make an AP English teacher beam with
joy, the virtual shelves are also stocked with
bestselling authors like Stephen King and Tom
Clancy, kid-lit series like Captain Underpants
and Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and a host of aca-
demic texts. Given Open Library’s stated goal is
“to make all the published works of humankind
available to everyone in the world,” you’re likely
to find what you’re looking for here.Amazon allows two adults in the same family to share the books they buy with one another.
