Acquiring & Managing Kindle Content
Device and Cloud storage
Content that is purchased from the Kindle Store is securely stored and available in the
Amazon Cloud. This includes copies of all your books, along with recent issues of newspapers
and magazines. You can go to the Cloud and select content that you want to download to your
Kindle.
To view your content stored in the Amazon Cloud, tap My Library in the top left of the screen.
On your library page, tap All in the top left of the screen.
To view content downloaded to your Kindle, tap My Library in the top left of the Home
screen. On your library page, tap Downloaded in the top left of the screen.
The Manage Your Content and Devices page, accessible from
www.amazon.com/devicesupport, offers a handy way to view and manage your Kindle
content, settings, and account using a web browser.
Tips:
If you wish to download content that you have in the Cloud, tap All in the top left of your
library screen, then tap on the item(s) you want to download to your Kindle. You can cancel a
download by tapping on the item's title.
Items that have been downloaded to your Kindle display a check mark in the lower left corner
of the cover image when in grid view and on the right side of the screen when in list view.
Once you have downloaded an item, you can either open it from the Home screen or directly
from the Cloud.
Your personal documents are saved in the Cloud if they were emailed to your Kindle and you
have enabled Personal Document Archiving. To manage this setting, go to the Manage Your
Content and Devices page, accessible from www.amazon.com/devicesupport. For information
