Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments A friend is moving and she has asked me if it is possible to move from one Amazon (UK) to another (USA) AND bring your collection of books with you?

I'm guessing no, but I just wanted to confirm this.

If it isn't, which she says isn't a big deal (she hasn't had her Kindle long so I'm guessing she doesn't have many books yet as she isn't a big reader), can you just de-register on one and re-register on the other with her new address?

Emma (emzibah) | 4125 comments I bought my Kindle on dot.com before they were available over here and yep I migrated everything over with no problems xx


Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments She doesn't actually have to change to .com if she doesn't wish to, Elle.

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments She wants to change so she can use the prime lending thing!


Thanks Em!!x

Emma (emzibah) | 4125 comments Sometimes it doesn't come up with the thingy at the top saying 'you already purchased this on such a such a date' but if you click on it to buy it then tells you that that book is already in your library!


Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Oh right.

Well then, I believe but I'm not 100% sure that deregistering will clear the archive but the downloaded books will stay until they're removed.

She might want to consider keeping her .uk account and getting a second cheapie kindle with adverts on a .com account.

But if she's not gone crazy clicking books, deregistering and reregistering is easy and straightforward.

Emma (emzibah) | 4125 comments I think if she changes her address on the Amazon account then there is no need to de-register and register (which will indeed clear the archive, as far as I know!) then she will be given the option to migrate to .com. That was how it worked with me and coming back to .co.uk in any case, so I presume it is the same the other way round?

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments Ooh yeah. I suppose if she changes her address, it might automatically migrate her.

Thanks for the help guys. She leaves tomorrow and just emailed me today after hearing about how different prime was on Amazon US.

She has only had it a month or two and I think only has a few books (I joked that she'd be probably better loosing her 50 Shades trilogy ;))


Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Nice one Emz!
