Kindle Cloud

[Axl18]

I have two Kindles, one is the paperwhite.
I have remarked that there are quiet some books and documents in the "cloud". But I do not want them to be there.

How can I remove them from the cloud without risking to delete them from the Kindles?

If you don't delete them from the Kindle(s), then they will stay there. If books are in the cloud, they are not on the Kindle, and take up no space. If you remove them from the cloud (via the Manage Your Content and Devices page), then they are gone from your account forever. You would have to buy them again if you wanted to download and read them again.

Please use the forums responsibly.

Your question concerns cloud use specific to the KINDLE.

Your thread has now been moved to the Kindle Forum.

Books will show up on your Kindle as being in the Cloud or being on the device. "In the Cloud" really means "Not on the device". From the Kindle you can't delete it from the Cloud but if you download it to the device you won't see it in the Cloud on that Kindle. If you haven't downloaded it to the other Kindle you will see it in the Cloud on that Kindle.

If you go to Amazon's Manage Your Content page you'll see all your books whether they're in the Cloud or on the Kindle. You can delete them from there but then you can't read them without buying them again. That's equivalent to tossing a paper book in the trash.

Nothing you can do from your Kindle, as far as I know, can truly delete your book. All you can do is remove it from the device to the Cloud.

I realize I've repeated myself a bit in explaining this but I don't know a clear simple way to state it so this is the best I can do.
