They are always on the archives at Amazon (well the books purchased from amazon, that is) but I also back them up to a computer and a removable storage drive

2. If you do backup or liberate your books, do you download them to K for PC or download them to computer to be transferred to the Kindle. I understand these are 2 different methods.
No K4PC involved. I use Calibre for library management and my Calibre library is backed up. I removed DRM as the books are imported into Calibre but I also keep DRM'd versions as well.

3. If you transfer them to the computer for transfer to the Kindle, do you rename the files to the book name so it is easier to distinguish books.
Nope, I just use Calibre.

4. When I bookmark a page on the Kindle, it goes into a file, I forget the name now. Is there a way to delete a certain bookmark. So far I've only been able to delete the 'whole' bookmark file, not individual bookmarks if there was more than one.

Thanks to all. This forum has been so helpful to me.
As HarryT says, just go to the page and either use the menu to remove the bookmark or press alt+b (that toggles the bookmark on and off).


Edit: I realized I might be confusing you. I also have a K1 and K1 books can easily have their DRM removed. Updated K2s and all K3 owners should use K4PC for DRM removal.
