Can you share books with other kindle holders?

If the Kindles are registered on the same Amazon account, yes.

Years ago my brother shared a book with me. I think I had a certain number of days to read the book and then it disappeared from my Kindle.

If the Kindles are registered on the same Amazon account, yes. My brother was able to share/loan me a book for his Kindle. He and I have our own account. The "rules" may have changed as this was a number of years ago. |

I have been able to loan books to my mom (different accounts) but it seems that not all books are available to loan, so I think it is dependent on the specific title.

I lend books I have purchased to my MIL all the time. She has 21 days to read them. We do not share accounts. There are a limited number of times you can lend a book. After all, you aren’t a library 😉

After all, you aren’t a library 😉 Thank you! I bought both my dd and my niece a kindle for Christmas. Currently, they swap paper books so I was hoping they’d be able to swap ebooks as well. |

The swap is done with email. I look in the content and device and it shows the books I have with kindle unlimited and the ones purchased. Clicking on purchased books gives you a task list and lend is one. Follow the directions and put in the email where it tells you to. And finish as directed. It will send a link for the person to click on to download load the book to their kindle. If they are a slow reader, do not connect to Wi-Fi/ internet and it will stay on their kindle for longer than the return date in some cases. The minute you connect past the return and the book goes away.

I am on my FIL and MIL's Kindle account, so we can all read the same books. In your situation I would set up your daughter and niece on the same account. They could take turns in who purchases the books. My FIL and I love all the same books (neither of us read the trash my MIL reads haha). He buys most of them. Every now and then I will buy a $50 Amazon voucher for FIL to use to buy us some more books.

There are not many kindle books that are 'loanable' these days. If they have their kindles signed into the same amazon account yes but otherwise no. It is definitely not as easy as handing over a paper book!!
