After registering my iPhone kindle app, it logged in, and all the books I had ordered when using the accessible kindle for pc program were in the cloud, in my library. I don't know how much space Amazon allows a user to have on their server to store their purchases, but I would think it would be enough to store a lot of books, being they don't take up a lot of space.
I know I probably won't read one of the books in my library, so I did an experiment. I downloaded it to my iPhone, then deleted it. When I went back to the cloud, it was still there, and allowed me to download it again. It really downloaded again, as opposed to simply accessing the deleted file on my iPhone. Feel free to confirm this experiment, I only report what happened for me. My conclusions so far are that one can access their in the cloud kindle library with whatever kindle device they wish to use, so long as you use the same kindle account, and that storing books you wish to save can be done by simply leaving them in the cloud until you want to read them again. Some of the books in my cloud library I purchased when that accessible for pc app came out, probably a couple years ago, and were still there.

I'm not at all impressed with Amazon's Kindle reading app. I have to admit though that the actual reading of a book is just as easy as it is with the iBooks Apple app is. The difference being, the iBooks app does let you store your books on your computer in a folder called books which you can manage yourself. Deleting books you've already read or just moving them to a DVD to save disk space on your iPhone seems to me to be a more useful method then the cloud. ----- Original Message ----- From: Neal Ewers To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2013 2:04 PM Subject: Possibly off topic Kindle problem The reason this may be off topic is that it has to do with the inaccessibility of a part of their web site that supports the app and not the app itself. If I am crossing the line here, the moderators will let me know. I can not delete books from the cloud as a sighted person would. If I go to manage my Kindle to the book I want to delete from the cloud, there is a pop up actions menu that neither JAWS or NVDA will open. I just spend an hour on the phone with Amazon and was told that that pop up contains the delete option. They are alerting their web people to the fact that this may be a screen reader problem at least in Windows. I just wanted to report this in case people had the same problem. I don't think people will want to hear from everyone if they are simply confirming this. However, if you do get it to work, it would be nice to know how you did it. Thanks much, and sorry if I stretched the bounds of the list topics. Neal -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
