Kindle Remove Devices

[Stella Kreuter]

Ifollowed your instructions and the special offers can be removed, but I will be charged $20 to do so because I agreed to special offers and received a $20 discount when purchasing my kindle. Is there any way around this? Thanks!

It worked! I called customer service and the ads were removed immediately. No payment necessary. They had to find my current Kindle since I have had several iterations. Now I can get to my book without having to traverse that annoying step of exiting the advertisement! Thanks for your advice.

Caution! There is a BIG difference between deleting books from your Kindle and deleting books from your Kindle Library, which is stored online. Deleting books from your online Library is NOT the way to just delete books from your iPad.

To delete a book from your iPad, go to your Home view, swipe the title to the right and push Delete. Note that books purchased from Amazon will be still be archived in your Kindle Library, which is stored online and the titles can be viewed on your iPad and they can be re downloaded to your iPad or other devices. They won't appear on your iPad Kindle Home page and they won't take up space on your iPad but their TITLES will appear when you select Archive.

(NOTE: If you got free books with the Kindle app, as I did, these are not Archived and deleting them from your iPad will remove them permanently. You'll see a warning to this effect. I believe I had a Dictionary and Aesop's Fables, if memory serves. These books weren't downloaded from Amazon and so were not in my library and I did delete them from my iPad.)

Removing a book from your Kindle LIBRARY can only be done online, through a browser, and once removed, they cannot be re downloaded to any device and will be removed from any device-- iPad, iPhone, computer, Kindle--that you have uploaded to. I.e., once removed from your online library, you don't own the book any more.

I only download free books and I'm not an avid reader. With very few exceptions, I can't think of a reason why I would to read a book again so it would not be a big deal to someone like me to remove it from my library. But you teach or work in a university or something like that (?) as I recall so I apologize to you as well as the OP.

I am also trying to delete a book from my ipad2 and cannot. I have tried what elizabeth says but I do not get an option to delete, only to archive. I have tried every permutation of swiping holding down tapping etc to get a delete option, but no luck. Any suggestions?

If you've used Kindle devices or apps for a while, you know how easy it is for old devices to accumulate on your list. Why not make things easier on yourself by clearing out old devices and better organizing the ones you still use?

It can get kind of old going to buy a new Kindle book and then trying to send it to your device, only to see a long list of devices with names like "4th iPhone," "5th iPhone," and so on. Fortunately, Amazon provides decent online tools for managing your devices and ebooks. Managing your device lists becomes especially important if you share books with your friends and family's Kindles. But, fear not. It's really not that hard to get your device list better organized.

This tab shows all Kindle-related devices you have registered to the account, whether those are actual Kindles, kindle apps installed on other devices, or even the Kindle Cloud Reader. If you can't tell which device is which, there's no super easy way to identify them. Instead, note the email address listed under a device when you select it. Each device gets its own email address so you can send it certain types of documents--like Word documents, PDFs, some ebook formats, and image files. One way to determine which device is which is to send something simple, like a JPG or GIF image file, to the address and then see which device it shows up on.

The first step to organizing your devices is to give them better names. You can rename actual Kindle devices from the device itself, so that may be a better option if you're unsure which device is which. Kindle apps on your phone, tablet, and computer don't have that ability, though, so you'll have to use Amazon's site. To rename a device, select the device and then click the "Edit" link to the right of the current device name.

The next step in organizing your devices is clearing out the ones you don't need. If you have old devices you don't use anymore, a device you plan to sell, or you just installed an app and then decided you didn't want it, you can remove it from your account by selecting the device and then clicking "Deregister."

Another little tip: if you have lots of devices and figuring out which is which is too much of a hassle, you can always go nuclear and just deregister all your devices. Then you can re-register just the devices and apps you actually use. When you register a device again, you'll have to set it up and re-download your books.

And now that you've cleaned things up, whenever you go to buy a new Kindle book, you'll be rewarded with a nice clean device list that helps you make sure you're sending books or samples to the right place.

Cleaning up your Kindle device list can take a little time and effort, but it's well worth it in the end. Not only is it easier to figure out where to send books, you also get the security of knowing that only the devices you actually still use are registered to your account.

I purchase some books in Kindle format, but the bulk of my Bible study books are in Logos or other Bible software formats, plus I've also purchased some books in Apple Books format, which Kindle obviously cannot natively read due to DRM and the different formats.

1. What would be the easiest way to get Logos books (or other non-Kindle format books) onto a Kindle device? Would PDF be the best route to go? I would probably need to send book files to the Kindle in batches (possibly per-chapter) to work around copyright restrictions.

6. Are there any advantages to reading exported Logos books on a Kindle device versus a 10.5" iPad Pro? I love my iPad Pro, and it does an excellent job for reading, as well as for getting some work done on the go (where I haven't needed to carry a notebook with me most places now). However, the 10.5" iPad Pro is a large, bright screen, and battery life still needs to be charged at least once a day, plus with the other apps and notifications, it's easy to rabbit trail unless I switch on DND.

If you mean the later, you would not need to convert anything... you would simply run the FL Android apps. If you mean the former, there are tutorials for converting Logos books. It isnt hard, but it isnt "push a button" quick either. NOTE: having a Logos book on a Kindle eInk device is great for simple reading, but you can't transfer notes/highlights back.

Whether you're talking about a Kindle Fire type of device or a Kindle eInk reader (seems obvious you must mean this latter option though), I would say don't bother. It isn't worth it if you already have an iPad Pro.

The Kindle app on iPad Pro is equal to, if not superior to, simply owning a Kindle. The main (really, only) advantage to an e-Ink display is supposed to be less eye strain. However, the screen quality on an iPad Pro makes this negligible (in fact it was probably a moot point to begin with, most people don't notice and aren't effected by eye-strain from reading on a computer screen--unless people were reading small text on a small computer screen with a really low refresh rate).

6. Another alleged advantage to reading on an e-Ink display is battery life. You say that you have to charge your 10.5 iPad Pro at least once a day. This strikes me as very unusual. I have an iPad Pro 10.5 inch and I only need to charge it every 2 to 3 days. To give an example, I charged my iPad Sunday night. On Monday I used it for several hours reading and multi-tasking with Kindle & MindNode in split-screen view. Then I did some other hand-written type work with the apple pencil. Just looked at my iPad battery and it's at 80%. So will probably last me another two or three days.

Even if you find that you need to charge your iPad every night, since charging your iPad is simple, the better battery life on a Kindle is another moot point. It would only really be an issue if you found that your iPad needed to be charged twice or more in a day. If that's you're issue, then there is probably something wrong with your iPad (or you're watching videos on it non-stop?).

1. From Logos you can send it to Microsoft Word and I think you might be able to just send the Word doc to Kindle, though I don't remember. It seems like, if I remember correctly, PDFs can be a bit of an issue because the Kindle screens are pretty small so font size will need to be big on the PDF. Trying to resize the text doesn't work or doesn't work very well.

3. I think (not positive) you can be signed into Kindle on as many devices as you want--what is restricted is the individual books, which will have their own DRM limits. For instance, back in the day I had some textbooks on Kindle and found that some had DRM that only allowed me to have them on 2 devices. Other books I never ran into a DRM limit with, but also never needed or tried to have them on more than 3 or 4 devices.

4. Removing a book from your device is easy (but also kind of pointless since they hold so many books), but the sent-to-kindle books will still be stored on your Kindle cloud. You can then delete them from the cloud by going to the relevant website.

5. The Oasis is the best, but I'm not sure any of them are really worth it. The Kindle app on iPad is *really* good and has some advantages over the e-Readers. For one thing, you can highlight in multiple colors (this is nice for coding the relevance of the text: if you disagree with a point in one color, if you agree in another, etc.).

For another, the iPad app has recently introduced a scrolling feature where e-books no longer page turn, but now scroll along the way Logos books do. This may not seem like much, but it's actually a very big step forward. Kindle was stuck trying to make digital book simply imitate print books, but this is the wrong way to think about ebooks. Digital books are a different medium with a different set of advantages (and possibly drawbacks) and when you just try and make a digital book mimic a physical book you are actually hamstringing what some of the advantages are to ebooks, while you don't actually gain the advantage of a physical book by mimicking it on a digital format. I won't bother going into more detail here, but suffice it to say that I think the scrolling feature is a superior and more natural digital experience over the page-turn feature that any Kindle e-reader is going to be stuck in.
