How to sync or transfer my books across accounts

Hi,

I have 2 gmail accounts, both with books under Google Play Books.

On Account1, I have a PDF book that I've marked up with notes and highlights, etc.
But now I would like that book to be synced and available to read and markup under Account2.

Why? (wonderful question).

Because I also have books under Account2 that I will want to start reading and marking up! In fact, I would like to only use Account2 going forward for those books.

So.... How do I transfer a PDF book, with markups and notes, from Account1 to Account2?

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to Android Central! I don't think that's possible, since each account is considered separate. See this support page: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/1062968?hl=en.

"Moving Books on Google Play between AccountsIf you accidentally purchase an eBook using a different Google Account, Google may grant a refund for your purchase. You can then repurchase your eBook using your preferred Google Account.
In order for your request to be considered, both accounts must be in good standing. This option is not available as a way to lend or 'gift' a purchase from one customer to another. To request this type of refund, please contact our Google Play Customer Support."
