For historical reasons I happen to have two accounts on Amazon,
and I would prefer to keep both, as they are in different countries.

I have ebooks in both accounts. Can I access both accounts with the
same kindle or kindle app and download the books from both?

How can I do it?

Not sure if you are still looking for a solution, but I was in the same situation. I had an Amazon US account and an Amazon IN account. Both of these has a few eBooks. I installed the Kindle for Android app on my phone with one account. And then installed the Parallel Space app via the playstore play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lbe.parallel.intl. Then selected the Kindle App to run another instance in the Parallel Space environment with the other account.

Hope this helps!

Amazon let me do this by setting up a “family”, but my other account is my business.

I asked the same question to an Amazon customer service. The answer I got was NO. I did recommended them to design a way to allow users to link their multiple accounts in whatever countries.

What I'm doing now is using an Android simulator on my desktop computer, where I can run a separate Kindle app and use a different Kindle account. The Android simulator I'm using is bluestack, and TBH it's not a bad experience.

But I'm still struggling to find a way doing so on my iPhone and iPad... Hope someone else can update the answer.

My answer shouldn't be treated as definitive, but I did google around a bit.

One youtuber claims that he can access books from two accounts by logging off the device with his original account, logging on with the second account, downloading the ebooks locally, logging off again and then relogging with the original account.

Youtube commenters are skeptical -- and so am I.

You can try, but you might screw up one or both accounts in the process.

Amazon has a method to link ebooks within different accounts within a family -- but there are strict rules about eligibility, plus I highly doubt it would apply to accounts for amazons from different countries. www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201733400
In my opinion (I'm speculating here) one solution might involve having two separate instances of an app running on a device -- one with each account. I don't think it's feasible though on either android or ios or native kindles.

Perhaps if you could find the unencrypted versions of the files you could transfer them to a second app capable of reading .mobi files. (I know you asked a question about that a little while ago). Perhaps you can use an app like fbreader to read unencrypted .mobi files . fbreader.org/content/book-formats-supported-and-not-supported

It seems easier just to have two separate devices with different accounts registered on each one.

Here's a wild idea -- why not write the Amazon people and ask them if they might consider transferring ownership of the files from one account to the other -- especially if you can demonstrate that you own both of them. I'm guessing that you aren't the ONLY Amazon.com customer who has moved to a different country. After all, you clearly have bought the ebooks in question. (Don't keep your hopes up!
