The sharing of accounts with e-book vendors such as Kindle or a partner of the Alliance Tolino by several persons is prohibited, but widely used. The Constellations in these shared libraries are manifold.
rental and sale of physical books is very popular: from modern antiquarians about flea markets to Internet marketplaces blooms of the secondary market, the Friends books are given away more diligently,-lent or exchanged
.
parts legally prohibited from e-book collections …
online push DRM and terms of use of a stop to exchange culture: In the terms of the supplier’s speech, the passing of files to third parties is usually the purchase of a personal use license expressly prohibited. Against resale (supposedly) “used” e-book publishers before going legally.
fact, the sharing of literature in the cloud era is easier than ever. So the Kindle platform allows the registration of an unlimited number of readers (Kindle, Kindle Fire, Kindle apps / software) per account. The only limitation is that only up to six devices can read a certain book at the same time.
… but simple and widespread than ever
According
are widely shared accounts, where people benefit more from acquisitions and a consequently growing library. In the U.S. literature blog Dear Author Jane Litte has summarized a number of comments on the subject.

There are also critical, warning voices. Reported it as a reader, she had two years shared a Kindle account with her best friend and always made purchases. After an argument, the girlfriend have changed the password, so that the reader has lost access to the entire Kindle library from today to tomorrow. Even greater are the risks while sharing a Kindle accounts to strangers: Famous is the story of former Member of the German e-book clubs Mexxbooks who has accidentally deposited its credit card data used by many people in the community Mexxbooks account. Within a short time e-books were bought for about 1,000 euros.

Mexxbooks in the past year put a stop (a thread on the topic in our forum fills 28 pages) Amazon. Shared “non-commercial” in the accounts of friends and family but are tolerated. With the Amazon Kindle lending library has a commercial alternative, offering verleihbarer e-books but here is eight months after the start Germany still very thin. The Tolino partner worldview, Thalia, Hugendubel and PagePlace have no lending function, which account sharing (Adobe DRM protected e-books can be transferred to up to six devices) so here’s alternative.
