Transfer kindle ebooks to another kindle device?
Many eBook lovers may have a Kindle, and maybe his/her friends and families also have Kindle devices, so there is a question: How to transfer Kindle eBooks from one Kindle Fire or e-ink Kindle to another kindle device? Because of Amazon's account limitation, people can't transfer ebooks between Kindle devices freely.
If you are a regular visitor to our site, you must know a fact: We will always find a way to help solve all kinds of eBook reading problems, no exception with transferring books from one Kindle device to another.
Transfer ebooks from an old Kindle to a new Kindle Fire
To transfer downloaded (not purchased) books:
Step 1: Connect your old Kindle to your computer via USB.
You will find your kindle device as a drive under "My Computer", click it and open the drive.
Step 2: There should be multiple folders. Open the folders and drag selected files from the Kindle and drop them into the computer's hard drive, transfer ebooks and other documents from the old Kindle to your computer.
Step 3: Connect another Kindle to your computer via USB, then there will be a removable disk displaying in your computer, open it and transfer the documents those files copied from your old Kindle to the new one. For audio books please put them in the Kindle's "Audible" directory, and for normal books please place them in the "Documents" directory.
To transfer purchased books:
All your purchased Kindle books are stored in your account's Kindle Cloud, all you need to do is re-register your Amazon account on your new kindle Fire. Go to the reading app, all the books you have ever purchased in Amazon Store will show up on your bookshelf. Just download them!
Share books between two Kindle devices registered with the same account
Note of Caution:
You are allowed to register your Amazon account on several Kindle devices so that your purchased books will be auto-synced across your different kindles. Meanwhile, those already downloaded books still remain in your old Kindle.
For your newly purchased Amazon books, you can still control which device to sync the item to in the Manage Kindle page.
Step 1: Register the second Kindle with the same account registered to the first one. Maybe you purchased a Kindle Touch before then get a new Kindle Fire HD, or your friend or family have got another Kindle and you want to share your purchased book to him/her. Never mind, in one word, it is possible to register your account in another Kindle and won't do much harm on your previous Kindle. After successful registration, please go to Amazon official site then navigate to "Manage Your Content and Devices" (Formerly "Manage your Kindle"). From "Your Content" you will see all your purchased files.
Step 2: Click on "Deliver" button. From the new pop up window, you can see all your registered Kindle devices and apps, which means, although you can't auto-sync your purchased books to your old Kindle device anymore, you can also manually deliver them to any of your registered device.
From the above steps, you have learnt how to transfer contents from an old Kindle device to a new one; and how to register on two Kindle devices with the same account and transfer purchased contents to them.
But what if you are not convenient to share your account with anyone else but only some books? Yes you can lend them out, but you must sacrifice your own 14 reading days, which is not that satisfying.
Therefore you need a method to share and transfer your books among unlimited Kindle devices.
Transfer downloaded / purchased eBooks to other Kindle devices
Transfer downloaded (DRM-free) books to other Kindle devices:
For DRM free eBooks, you can easily transfer them to other Kindle devices with USB cable freely.
You just need to simply plug your Kindle to computer with the USB cable, then there will be a removable disk, open the disk and find the books you want to transfer to other Kindles, then copy them out to your local drive. Now things have been finished with this Kindle.
Plug another Kindle on your computer and it will be recognised as a removable disk soon. Paste the books you previously copied out to the current Kindle device. For a Kindle Fire (HD) model, make sure to put the DRM-free Kindle books (mostly MOBI) to "Books" folder. Now you can read those books on another Kindle freely.

I will recommend you firstly convert your Kindle books to mobi or azw3 format (without drm), then transfer to your another kindle.
Or, log in with the same account.
Or, use Kindle Transfer.
For the sideloaded books, please just copy them to the new kindle via usb cable.

What am I doing wrong.
Dear Sir/Madam,
My wife has recently bought a kindle device (touch screen) for me and registered on the same account as her old kindle device.
I tried all your advice to enable her books to appear in my new kindle, but the minute I switched it all downloaded book have disappeared!
I tried to connect it via USB to the computer, but the comp failed to recognise it! Could you please help.
Thanks in advance,
Soncerely,
Alexander
Hi,
Your daughter can sign in with your Amazon account to sync the books and download them. You can also use our software to remove DRM from the books and then directly send the DRM free ebooks to her.
I am wondering if someone can help me. My parents both have kindle's under the same amazon account but each kindle is registered under their name. My mom bought a book but she sent it to my dad's kindle by mistake. She is asking me how to move it to her kindle and I am not sure how to move the book from one registered kindle to another. Would I just log into their amazon account and go to the manage kindle page and manually transfer that book from my dad's kindle to moms?
I am upgrading from an older Kindle with a keyboard Gen2 maybe (About 4 or 5 years old (good working order - will become the wife's.)to the new, cheap one - one below paperwhite. I have copied the documents file from Kindle # 1 to my P.C. Every title has 4 files *.el, *.phl, *.azw3 and *.apnx
The "documents" flder has sub-folders -looks like every author and sometimes more than one folder per author containing 2 types of files - *.MOBI and *.apnx
I assume I can copy the entire "documents" file as is to my kindle # 2? taking both groups of files.
Please confirm. Hoping to do all this today, tomorrow at the latest.
Thanks very Much.
Bob F.
4 files, but just one ebook file.
You can't read the ebook file on any other devices, it's contains DRM.
Why not download the software one this site?
http://www.epubor.com
download and install Epubor Ultimate then connect your Kindle device to you PC/Mac, the device will show on the software's right side.
Remove the DRM at first, then copy the decrypted files to new devices.
Enjoy
On your new Kindle, just log in with the same Kindle account, and "Sync".
Soon all those purchased Kindle files will be shown on your new device.
If so you can only using your new Kindle and then log in with the same Amazon account.
Then all you purchased books will be shown in your Kindle Cloud, click books' cover to begin downloading.

Hi
I have just downloaded and installed your KINDLE TRANSFER software
When I open it up and connect any Kindle Fire (mine and my wife's), on the left pane it shoes:
Slot1 - No eReader connected
Slot2 - No eReader connected
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Mike
Thank you for asking.
1. Please check her old kindle firmware version. If the version is older than 5.10.2 , please just plug in this device to computer and remove the drm from kindle books download via this kindle. Then transfer the converted kindle books to her new kindle.
2. If the kindle firmware is higher than 5.10.2, Epubor software can not handle them directly. You need to use other methods to download the kindle books: https://www.epubor.com/faq.html#e108
what can I do?
I figure I can just copy everything in that /documents folder, which would also maintain the "Collections" folders.
But Kindles keep a huge number of small history files on each item. They do not take up a lot of room, but I would still like to skip them in the transfer process.
Any labor-saving tips?
