Device and Cloud storage

Content that is not downloaded to your device is stored securely and available in the
Cloud (previously referred to as Archived Items). This includes copies of all your books,
along with recent issues of newspapers and magazines. To view your Cloud content, tap
Cloud in the top left of the Home screen. Your personal documents are also saved in the
Cloud if they have been e-mailed to your Kindle and if you have enabled archiving on the
Manage Your Kindle page.
To view content stored on your Kindle, tap Device. If you are preparing to go offline, toggle
to Cloud and download to your Kindle any content that you want to have available when
offline.
If you wish to download content that you have in the Cloud, tap Cloud on the Home
screen, then choose the item(s) you want to restore to your Kindle. You can cancel a
download by tapping on the item's title. Once you have downloaded an item, you can
either open it from the Home screen or directly from the Cloud. Use this same method to
download previously purchased content to a new Kindle device.
The Manage Your Kindle 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 appears, tap Remove from
Device. This option will vary depending on the content. Your content will remain stored
securely in the Cloud for downloading at a later time.
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 Kindle
page, accessible from www.kindle.com/support. Note that files transferred to your Kindle
using the USB cable will be deleted permanently. For information on personal document
management, see Carrying and reading personal
