Vaibhav and Kishor distributed notebooks between themselves.​

Explanation:

• Prepositions are words that connect/give meaning to nouns/pronouns/noun phrases to show the when/how/where of the given noun.
• The preposition 'among' is made use of, only when are 'more than 2 things' or 'persons'. If there are 'only 2 persons or things', 'between' should be used.

Examples:

1. The mother divided the property between his two sons
2. The mother divided the property among his sons and daughters
3. The mother divided the property among his three children
