Amazon has announced a Kindle update that will let you share books with someone else. The new Family Library feature gives you access to another Amazon user’s Kindle library. Amazon says it’ll let you access books from the account of a “spouse or partner” but we’re not sure how it’ll know who they are to you. The feature also allows two adults to manage up to four children’s accounts.
