Finding the 'update available' books in the content library
Over the years (I had an OG 1st gen at the beginning) I've accumulated a lot of freebies in addition to purchased books. So that is just to say I have a LOT of books in my Amazon content library.

Is it possible to easily find only those books that have an "update available"?

I would like to redownload only those that have an update available.

You have to go to your content and scroll through each page. When you come to something that's been updated, you then need to send it your Kindle or K4PC. There is no simplified solution.

Ouch. That's what I was afraid of.

1583 books at 25 a page = 64 pages!

well...i've been through them. I decided to throw the ones with updates into a collection instead of downloading right away. over 10% of my books had updates. now...do I care about all of them? not so much. especially in early years I grabbed a lot of freebies that I would not have bought.

anyway...next step is to at least re-download the ones I care about and then we will see.

I realize that it's now after the fact, and I don't know what system you're using to access the kindle content pages, but this could help in the future. You might be able to search each page for the word update. I'm on a windows 11 laptop, that's how I look for updated books. It's quicker and easier on my eyes than having to scroll and look for the word myself.
