I downloaded and installed the update on my Paperwhite, and now I can't get to the Kindle store.

Books are deleted by the reset to factory settings?

Books are held in the cloud/library/archive/whatever and download to the device as needed. I usually have 25-30 books on my Paperwhite. I can see all the books in my library by viewing "all" or I can see just the books on my device by viewing "downloaded".
When you do a factory reset, your downloaded books are removed from your device. You have to downloaded them again. For me, that's not a big problem and I do a factory reset once or twice a year as maintenance. If some decides do have 1,337 books on their device it's more of a problem. If you can't remember which books you've read and which you can't, you can keep a list of read versus unread in Goodreads or Calibre. I'm only 76 and can usually remember but if I forget and download a book I've read it immediately tells me I've read it in "percentage read". |

I don't buy books from Amazon anymore (Amazon doesn't follow the french typographic rules).
So, all books in my Kindle are sideloaded from Calibre. And I have hundreds in it. (I've read 100 books last year) Will they vanish? |
