Delete book from Kindle originally via Caliber

[srfoot24]

Hi;
When I delete a book from my kindle which was originally uploaded to it via Caliber:
1) Does it still reside in Caliber?
2)Does the Kindle device have any record of books that have been stored in it?
3)Does Caliber keep any record of books that have been uploaded to the Kindle? How to access this data?
Thank you for your input!

Books deleted from a Kindle remain in calibre. Amazon keeps data about books read on Kindle devices even if they are deleted.


Please don’t post the same question in multiple forums.

Thank you for reply.
Sorry for error.
If book loaded to caliber and then into Kindle, deleted from Kindle, then I suppose amazon will not have a record of it?
Looking to see if there was any type of auto tracking.
So not to upload to Kindle again.
Thank you.

Depends on how it was transferred to Kindle.

Calibre has a software transfer that uses the Amazon 'send to kindle' functionality, and when that is used, a copy of the document will be retained in the Amazon library.

But it is also possible to sideload material from Calibre to Kindle using a USB cable. In that case, there is no record of the transfer.

Calibre is totally separate from Kindle, so material will be retained in Calibre even after it is transferred to Kindle, and then deleted from Kindle. I haven't found any automatic process for flagging things transferred to Kindle, but you can set flags manually, and even set up special attribute for transfer status or transfer date. And it is possible to set up an archive on your computer, and transfer Calibre files manually to it after things have been transferred to Kindle.
