Chapter 2 Acquiring Kindle Content
To delete an item from your Kindle, press and hold the item’s name on the Home screen.
When the dialog box appears, tap Delete or Move to Archived Items.
Copies of all your books, along with recent issues of newspapers and magazines, are
archived on Amazon’s servers. Your personal documents are also saved if they have been
e-mailed to your device. If you wish to retrieve content that you’ve deleted, select Archived
Items from the Home screen, then choose the item(s) you want to restore to your Kindle.
Use this same method to download previously purchased content to a new Kindle.
Amazon does not store older issues of periodicals. If you want to back up those items, you’ll
need to do so manually. See “Using Kindle with your computer” for more information.
The Manage Your Kindle page (accessible from www.kindle.com/support ) offers a handy way
to view and manage your Kindle content, settings, and account using a web browser.
Audible audiobooks
The Kindle Store offers thousands of Audible audio editions, including New York Times best
sellers. In addition to audiobooks, the Kindle Store offers audio editions of radio shows,
stand-up comedy performances, and speeches. Listen to Audible content through the Kindle
speakers or plug in your headphones for private listening.
Due to their large file size, audiobooks can only be transferred wirelessly to your Kindle
using Wi-Fi. If Wi-Fi is not available at your current location but your Kindle model has 3G
connectivity, you can still purchase Audible content; it will automatically download the next
time Kindle has a Wi-Fi connection. Alternatively, you can download your Audible purchases to
your computer, then transfer them to Kindle using USB.
Audible.com offers four versions of its audiobook format. Kindle is compatible with format 4
and Audible Enhanced Audio (AAX). Format 2, format 3, and audiobooks provided from other
sources are not supported.
