Profiles on one device

Several accounts on the same device, each with its own books, progress and plan.

If you share a tablet or an ereader at home, each person can have their own profile. Everyone signs in with their account once, and from then on you switch profiles with a tap, without typing the password again.

What's yours and what's shared

  • Per account: its library, progress, highlights, stats and plan.
  • Per device: the app theme, the reading settings (font, size…), the language and the book files, which are stored only once even if you both have them.

Add another account

  1. Tap your photo in the top right corner to open Settings.
  2. Tap Profiles on this device.
  3. Tap Add another account and sign in with the other account (or create a new one).

Your own session isn't closed: both accounts stay saved on the device.

Switch profile

  • In Settings → Profiles on this device, tap the other account. The one in use is marked Active.
  • Quicker: long-press your photo on Home (only when there's more than one account on the device).

Ask who's reading on launch

Turn on Ask who's reading on launch and, like on a TV, Kevra opens with Who's reading? and the profiles to pick from. It switches on by itself when you add the second account; you can turn it off on the same screen.

Remove an account from the device

In Profiles on this device, open that account's menu and tap Remove from this device. Its session on this device is closed; its account and cloud books are untouched, and signing back in will need its password.

Log out in Settings also only signs out the person leaving: if other accounts remain, you'll see the profile picker instead of the sign-in screen.

Important: no password

Anyone holding the device can open these profiles without a password. That's expected on a shared home reader; on a personal phone, one account is best.

Common questions

Does it count as a device for the Free plan limit? The device limit is counted per account: the device counts as one device for each account that uses it. See manage your subscription.

If I have Pro, does the other profile get it too? No: each account has its own plan.
