How do you delete books off your Kindle? If you’re looking to free up space on your e-reader or simply remove books you no longer need, this guide will walk you through the process step by step. Whether you’re using a Kindle device or the Kindle app on your smartphone or tablet, we’ve got you covered.
First, let’s start with the Kindle device. If you’re using a Kindle e-reader, follow these simple steps to delete books:
1. Turn on your Kindle device and navigate to the “Home” screen.
2. Use the 5-way controller or swipe gestures to highlight the book you want to delete.
3. Press the Menu button on your Kindle, which is typically located on the bottom right corner of the device.
4. From the menu options, select “Remove from Device.”
5. Confirm the deletion by pressing the Menu button again and choosing “OK.”
Once the book is removed, it will no longer be visible on your Kindle’s Home screen. However, it’s important to note that deleting a book from your Kindle device does not remove it from your Amazon account. If you want to completely remove the book from your account as well, you’ll need to follow a different set of steps.
Here’s how to delete books from your Amazon account:
1. Go to the Amazon website and log in to your account.
2. Click on “Your Account” in the top navigation bar.
3. Under the “Manage Your Content and Devices” section, click on “Manage Your Content and Devices.”
4. On the left-hand side, click on “Your Content.”
5. Scroll through the list of books and find the one you want to delete.
6. Next to the book, click on the three dots (•••) and select “Delete.”
7. Confirm the deletion by clicking “Delete” again.
Deleting books from your Kindle app on a smartphone or tablet is a similar process:
1. Open the Kindle app on your device.
2. Tap the “Library” tab at the bottom of the screen.
3. Find the book you want to delete and tap on it.
4. Tap the three dots (•••) in the upper right corner of the screen.
5. Select “Delete” from the menu that appears.
6. Confirm the deletion by tapping “Delete” again.
By following these steps, you can easily delete books from your Kindle device or app. Remember, this will only remove the book from your device or app; it won’t affect your Amazon account unless you specifically delete it from there as well.
