[Web4lib] Library Purchase/Subscription For Kindle Content?

[Louise Alcorn]

 My understanding (and don't quote me on this) is that as long as the
Kindles are linked to the same *account*, they can share content.  I
think it's supposed to be like a "family plan".

Can you transfer Amazon-purchased content? E-book collections available
through licensing are very different than purchases through Amazon's
current single-user purchase model.
