Can't Find My Amazon Kindle Files on My PC. But Refund given.

[CRussel]

Search function is basically everywhere in Win8. But if the OP was using the "ModernUI" version of Kindle for PC, the book is stored where he won't ever find it. Basically, I find that app totally useless for a number of reasons. However, if you're on a Win8 Tablet you _may_ not have a choice. ("Pro" tablets can run the Win7 version of K4PC. ARM processor based "Surface" and "Surface 2" non-pro tablets can NOT.)

There is your problem! I too have a new HP with Win 8 the App that came with it doesn't work!!! So I DELETED it then to Amazon & Downloaded Kindle App for PC Win 7 Works like a charm! Then the rest is like everyone one else told you.

Same here! I don't think anyone has figured out where the books are downloaded in Windows 8. But the K4PC Windows 7 app works so well, as does the Kindle for Android, I don't worry about it.

I'm not quite sure why you asked for a refund then! However, now that you have your refund, you should not have the books anymore, and should delete any copies you still have in your possession.

And then you need to buy them again. I think that perhaps you need to look into whether you want to buy from Amazon or elsewhere, and perhaps experiment with some free ebooks from various stores first, so that you can work out what you're doing without spending money/asking for refunds.

(Note that Amazon are unusual in allowing refunds. With most ebook stores, once you've downloaded the book, no refunds are given except in cases of very bad formatting or other severe error.)

Your welcome.

Some times I forget about the search function myself.

Any book from any major publisher will probably have DRM, no matter where you buy it. Changing to B&N or Kobo won't change that.

The publishers want DRM, so the books have DRM.

Yes, any of them are going to have DRM, and Amazon has by far the best customer service. I have no confidence that you would have had your files restored from any other company, but I'm not surprised at all that Amazon restored them.
