To edit attributes associated with adults in your household, tap the Quick Actions icon
on the
toolbar, and then tap All Settings. On the Settings page, tap Household & Family Library. Tap the
name of the individual to:
• Manage Family Library
• Manage Share All Books
• Select devices that show shared content
• Manage payment methods
• Remove that individual from the household on all devices
Note that leaving a household will result in both adults not being allowed to join or start a household
for 180 days, and the household cannot have another adult added for 180 days. Your digital
content and payment methods will no longer be shared with the other adult in the household. You
will also no longer be able to administer child accounts that are part of the household. You can
manage individual books for sharing on the Manage Your Content and Devices page, accessible from
www.amazon.com/devicesupport
