My sister and I are on one Windows 7 account so there's only one copy of the Kindle for PC app which Is registered to me. The problem is that each user has to have a registered Kindle to buy ebooks so how do we both go about buying books from our individual accounts and reading them on the one Kindle for PC app?

Is there a way to install two copies of the same app and have it work separately? Any other solutions?

Unacceptable answers: buy a Kindle; get another Win 7 account or buy all the books from a single Amazon account. If any of these were possible right now I'd already have done it. Thank you.

IE 8. Win 7 Pro.

I don't understand why you can't create another user record on that computer. You're mixing a whole lot of personal data together. In any case, there's no way to connect one instance of Kindle app to multiple accounts. You can't install most modern applications more than once per computer either. P.S. Update your IE to the latest version - you'll at least be able to use the Kindle web app. – dnbrv Mar 31 '12 at 5:09

Ha. Yes, I was on amazon.ca by mistake so I couldn't find it but it doesn't work in IE yet. Only Chrome etc... – verve Apr 4 '12 at 20:01
