Kindle User’s Guide

Chapter 2

Acquiring & Managing Kindle Content

If you wish to download content that you have in the Cloud, tap Cloud on the Home 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. Cloud items that have been downloaded on your Kindle display a

tick mark on the upper right corner of the cover image when in Cover 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.

The Manage Your Content and Devices 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.

Removing items from your Kindle

To free up space on your Kindle, you can remove items by pressing and holding the item's

name or cover on the Home screen. When the dialog box displays, tap Remove from Device.

Your content will remain stored securely in the Cloud for downloading at a later time. Note

that files transferred to your Kindle using the USB cable will be deleted permanently when

you remove them because they are not stored in the Cloud.

Your personal documents are saved in the Cloud if they have been e-mailed to your Kindle

and if you have enabled Personal Document Archiving on the Manage Your Content and

Devices page, accessible from www.kindle.com/support. For information on personal

document management, see Carrying and reading personal documents.

Periodicals

Older issues of newspapers and magazines are stored on the Home screen in a collection

titled "Periodicals: Back Issues." Issues that are more than eight issues old will be

automatically deleted from your device to free up space for new content. Issues that are

more than 14 issues old will be deleted automatically from the Cloud. The word "Expiring"

next to an issue indicates that it will be deleted soon.

There are two ways to keep a copy of an issue on your device:

 On the Home screen tap On Device, then press and hold on the name or cover of the issue

you wish to keep. Select Keep This Issue from the options.

 From within the issue, tap the Menu button and select Keep This Issue.

You can access all of your back issues, regardless of date, on the Manage Your Content and

Devices page (accessible from www.kindle.com/support).

Managing your Kindle Library

Your Kindle can store thousands of books, personal documents, newspapers, blogs and

magazines, which are referred to collectively as "content" throughout this guide. To display

a list of content on your Kindle, tap the Home button. To view how much free space you
