Kindle and Amazon Prime

I just got my Kindle a month ago, and my free Prime membership expired.  MH has Prime on his amazon account, and I'm linked to his membership on my account.  Though, apparently, I can't download the one free book a month or watch the streaming videos on my kindle since I'm not the one with the Prime membership.  Is there any way I can get around this without having to re-register my Kindle under his account?  (This wouldn't be a problem, I just like it saying ___'s Kindle (insert my name) haha.

Re: Kindle and Amazon Prime

  • I thought this as well, which is why I bought my Kindle in the first place. I already have an itouch and Ipad that I had the Kindle app on but then I bought the Kindle bc of the lending and streaming videos.

    I have a Shared prime Membership - since I receive a share of Prime, it doesn't allow me the same benefits as being the owner of the membership. I ended up paying the $79 so I could do the videos and pick an 'expensive' book every month to justify it.

    It's super confusing. And of course another way for them to make money.

  • If you don't care that the Kindle is on his account you can change the name of your Kindle after registering it on his account.  I did that when I put my Kindle on my wife's account.  I would tell you how to do that but I can't remember off the top of my head.  I'm sure google could help with that.

    This is what I was going to say.  The name on the Kindle can be anything you want, no matter what account it is linked to.
