Over 50 Kindle user guides appeared on my kindle?
All in different Languages???? How do I get rid of these? I can delete off device but I do not want them to show period. Not even under "all"

Go to amazon.com/myk and log in. From the drop down "Show:" select Dictionaries & User Guides. They should all be listed there with the option to delete.

On my Paperwhite, I have three dictionaries that I use and Kindle put them in a collection called dictionaries. I don't see any of the plethora of other dictionaries on my Paperwhite.
If I go to Manage Your Kindle and select "Dictionaries and user's guides" I get 138 books listed but they don't appear on my Paperwhite unless I download them. I don't care if they're on MYK. Not my problem. If in fact, all those books were appearing on my Paperwhite, I would do a factory restore and start over. |

I have 171 dictionaries and user guides on my account. It used to be if you deleted them from Content & Devices they would come back with the next update. Most just ignore them. |

It may not matter now. I accidentally "reset" my oasis instead of "restart" |

The multiple user guides and dictionaries have always been a part of the "Kindle Universe." When you have a Kindle capable of using foreign languages, you get the user guides and dictionaries that support those languages.
I've been using Kindles since 2009, and this has always been how it is. Back when Amazon still had the old forums, it was one of the most common questions new users had. I just looked at mine, there are 209. I must not have let the list load all the way earlier. Last edited by Deskisamess; 10-15-2018 at 06:22 PM. |

It shows I have 398 in my account under dictionaries and guides.
I don't see them on my kindles though. Even if I am on all. And that is probably because they are buried among the 3000 books I have in my cloud. I think what I have done in the past after an update, I take them and put them in my "read" folder. One of them. I have 2 now as the first one got too big. Since I always display the "read" folder, no matter if I use "ALL" or "downloaded", I don't see them. |
