Download all?
So after owning a Kindle Touch for over two years, I finally installed Kindle for PC, because it occurred to me that having a local backup of my books would be nice.
Is there a "download all" feature? Please? |

No, unfortunately there isn't. Personally I download every book as soon as I buy it. Never trust any bookstore to keep books for you.

So when you get a new computer you have to manually download your books one by one?
Wow. |

Not if you want to download them for a Kindle device. Only one at a time, then.

Anyway, you can queue them from http://amzn.com/myk and the new interface allows you to do bulk operations. |

K4PC takes an eternity to start up if you have a large number of books in the "My Kindle Content" folder, so I clean it out once in a while. I never read books using K4PC; it's purely a download channel. |

Odd, Automatic Adding is supposed to delete the imported books... are you using it right?

Yes, just like any other standard folder.
The problem was getting te Fire to show up at all on an OS that doesn't support MTP. |
