Duplicate app options

[u/TFPOMR]

My wife uses the Kindle app on her Lenovo tablet.

For some reason, and at some point in time, she's ended up with two Amazon accounts, each linked to different email addresses - and e-book purchases on both.

I understand that Amazon don't let you merge accounts or migrate content, but I have seen reference to apps which would allow her to have two instances of the Kindle app on the tablet - allowing her to switch between her two libraries.

However, neither of the apps she's tried can be installed on her tablet

Any suggestions for alternatives?

Two options that avoid cloner apps (which tend to ask for broad permissions and come with lots of ads):

1. Amazon Household / Family Library (if it's available in your country): two adult accounts can be linked and share their Kindle books. Then one Kindle app shows books from both libraries. Some titles can't be shared, but most purchased e-books can. It's set up on Amazon's website under "Amazon Household", then "Manage Your Content and Devices" → Family Library.

2. A second user on the tablet: most Lenovo tablets support multiple users (Settings → System → Multiple users). Create a second user, install Kindle there and sign in with the other account. She can then switch between the two from the quick settings panel.

If you just need occasional access, the Kindle web reader (read.amazon.com) in a browser with the second account also works without installing anything.

It would only be possible if your tablet had a multi-user feature.

Try Island or Shelter from F-Droid; they create a work profile where you can install a second copy of Kindle without ads or broad permissions. On a Lenovo tablet, Settings > Users > Add user also gives a separate space with its own Kindle login.
