Does anyone know what this is about?
I just noticed yesterday that some time since the last software update (5.7.3) on my Voyage, it has downloaded my entire library. I only discovered this when I was trying to get back to the dictionaries, I finally gave up and used search.
I usually only keep the books I'm reading or using for research. It would take a long time to remove them, and if I did, would it just download them again? Does anyone know what this is all about? |

Whichever word is highlighted, (all or downloaded) tap the other one and you will see only the books on your device.
I can assure you Amazon did not download all your books. |

You're sure all the books are actually on the device and you're not just viewing what's in your cloud?

Cloud results come back for most things now so as said above its probably just that.

I very, very much doubt that it's downloaded your entire library. You probably have the selector on the library screen set to "All" (which shows you what's in the Cloud) rather than "Downloaded" (which shows you what's on your Kindle).

Yes, you're all right. Somehow the selector switched from downloaded to all. Wasn't me!

Thanks, everybody for educating me. I guess I have finally reached the point (75) where I don't like change. While I'm here I'll ask another question. |

Change for the sake of change is pretty stupid -- this (stupid) change confused a lot of people, many of whom are not very old at all. |

Ah, but any change that eliminates one more use of the word 'cloud' to mean something other than 'thing in the sky that portends rain' is a good change in my book!
