Hi! I understand that when you use the BookFunnel share function for Kindle, the book is going to your wife's Kindle instead of yours. Let's get this sorted out so your book lands on the right device.

First, can I ask:
- Are your Kindle devices registered under the same Amazon account or different accounts?
- Are you using the "Send to Kindle" email address to share the book? If so, did you maybe enter your wife’s Kindle email address instead of yours?

Here’s a step-by-step to adjust the address and ensure the book goes to your Kindle:

1. Verify Your Kindle Email Address
- Go to your Amazon account on a web browser.
- Navigate to 'Manage Your Content and Devices' > 'Devices' tab.
- Locate your Kindle device and check the email address associated with it. It usually looks like [email protected].

2. Update the Share Address in BookFunnel
- When sharing or sending the book, make sure you enter your Kindle email address (not your wife’s).
- If the share button uses a saved address, double-check in your BookFunnel settings or the share interface if you can update or select the correct email.

3. Check Your Approved Personal Document Email List
- On Amazon, under 'Manage Your Content and Devices', click on "Preferences," then "Personal Document Settings."
- Ensure the email you’re sending from (where BookFunnel sends the book) is on the approved list to allow documents to be delivered to your Kindle.

4. Resend the Book
- After verifying and updating the email address, try sharing again with your Kindle email.

If you happen to share inside a Family or Household Amazon account, check if household settings are automatically directing documents to the wrong device.

Let me know what you find or if you’d like me to guide you through any of these steps!
