Let me see if I can say this so people will finally understand. I
purchased
a Kindle book. It was sent to my phone. I synced my phone with my computer
and can now read the book on my computer. I didn't have to do any thing
more
than that to have the pc version of the kindle reader find it. The book is
obviously on my computer, but it must be in some hidden form. If you would
like to tell me where it is, I would be happy to go look. But it is in
some
format that is different from the books on the true kindle.
My wish is to make a backup copy of said books. I don't particularly like
to
be dependent entirely on the cloud. So, I would like to keep the books in
a
known place on my computer. It's hard to do that if one can't find them.

There is a way of downloading the books to your computer. if you use
Kindle
for PC with Accessibility, the books will be on your computer.

Alan, thanks for the tip about iBooks. That strengthens my theory that the
inability to do this with the Kindle app is exactly what either Amazon,
Apple, or both wanted to do. How silly. You purchase a book and it is
totally tied to some cloud some place and cannot be put on your computer.
I'm not sure the issue here, in that the books are assigned a code given
your sine in credentials thus you can't share them. And that's not why I
want to have access to them anyway. I may contact Amazon and ask why this
is
done.
Yes, the Kindle device itself will allow certain books to be read aloud,
but
I don't believe you can do this with all books. I don't believe the iPhone
App has that limitation, but I am not positive about that. I am reading
Harry Potter, and I'm guessing that would not be a book that one can read
with speech on the actual Kindle. I should check that out.

Neal, the iBooks app for iPhone lets you do that. I have the app and it's
totally accessible. It creates a folder within iTunes, iTunes Media,
books.
Any books you buy or download from the apple store go into that folder.
You
can do what you will with your books. And, if you download other books
from
other sorceress like txt format etc, you can drop those too into that
folder. When you then sync your phone with iTunes, those books you
dropped
into the books folder get synced to your iPhone. Note: iBooks does not
read
.EPUB (Kindle) book format books. However, the Kindle book reader does
read
most all popular formats. I've downloaded the free Kindle app and it
doesn't seem to let you keep your books on your computer unless I'm
missing
something. It looks to me like Amazon was just giving in to the demand
for
accessibility of Kindle books by iPhone users. The actual Kindle hardware
is accessible. It has been so for some time. I bought my daughter who
loves to read a Kindle several years ago for Christmas. One day she
called
me up on the phone and said, hey dad, listen to this and I heard the book
being read by a screen reader. They have improved quite a bit on that and
all kindles today have a text to speech reading option.
The Kindle is a good book reading device and very limited as a computer.

Hi, If I download a book directly to my iPhone, is there any way I can
keep
it permanently. If I delete if from the phone, it will likely delete it
from
iTunes assuming I have synced it. Am I better off downloading books
directly
to my computer where I can place the ones I have read in a particular
folder? Or, are there other ways to make sure I have a permanent copy of
the
book? Example, is there a place in iTunes where the book is stored such
that
I could make a copy of it?
Thanks much.
Neal
