    You must join an Amazon Household to be able to set up a Family Library. Make sure your other device is connected to your Amazon Household.

    Certain books cannot be loaned. Look for books that can be borrowed when you purchase a new book. It will indicate if a book can be loaned on the book’s product detail page.

    You may have to look the book up if you don't share the same account. Try searching for it in the store
  • Question
    Can both adults sharing the family library have access to the book during the same time period? For example, adult A reads the book from 3 - 4:00 PM, and adult B reads the same book on a different device from 7 - 8:00 PM of the same day?

    If you are using the same account on Amazon, or otherwise sharing the book electronically, you should be able to read the book on both devices. Unfortunately, if you are on the same account, it may sync your reading progress onto both devices if you are reading at the same time, so you may have to set a bookmark after you read.
