Huh. That is the opposite of what Amazon advised me. I started publishing only erotica. Then added a 'respectable' imprint. Of course, the money flows to the same place, so it's not a problem at that level. But when I took a college intern one term, it would have been nice to have given her access to the 'respectable' account page, but not the erotica page (as I did not think she'd have been OK with it).

So I emailed Amazon and asked them if there was any way to split the account. They recommended setting up an entirely different KDP account, and said they could switch my books over--BUT, I'd lose my reviews and sales rankings, which at the time were pretty good, on some titles. So I have stayed with just the one account.

But it's certainly not against their rules to have two accounts, or they wouldn't have advised me to create a second one.

I do have a separate reader account from my publisher account, and I have two separate Author Central accounts, with different email addresses--one for my erotica (I've written a few titles), and one for all the books I have with trad publishers, which are not erotica.

My husband has his own Amazon account too, and our credit card is on it, but he doesn't publish or leave reviews. Half the time he can't even remember to log me out and himself in, and is always sending free poetry books to my Kindle by mistake...

I saved the email chain I had with them. Quote:

Hello,

You may open a new account under a different e-mail address using the same contact, tax and bank account information and publish separately.

I hope this helps. Thanks for using Amazon KDP.
