I made the mistake of deleting Harry Potter from the main account’s ‘Manage Your Content and Devices’ list. My kid was very upset because I had deleted it from my list to take it out of my reading list. Now I just archive books or use the USB in each device to add books.

If you can access on a computer, log on and you can delete as many as you like.

This is actually how you end up learning to live with your digital hoarding. We have infinite shelves now. My KU history is a pretty accurate record of my whims. Sometimes I'm even embarrassed by how easily I get won over by a new book, and sometimes I just shake my head at my own tastes. I’ve given up trying to present a perfect, respectable reading history. My Amazon account history is mine, it’s messy, it’s real. If anyone were to audit my Amazon history, they’d see that I’m a woman who reads everything from cozy mysteries to hard sci-fi to the odd ‘alpha billionaire’ romance. That’s me. That’s the full human experience.

Yes. That is a relief. As someone who has used e-readers with problems deleting borrowed ebooks, or storing them in arcane and proprietary apps, Kindle does this one very well. The book is a mere item in your library list. You delete it. The end. Yes, this simplicity is a major part of Kindle’s ongoing leadership in the market of borrowing ebooks from libraries. It’s just so common sense. Kindle respects the user. It assumes they are intelligent and capable of controlling their content as they see fit. And so, unlike other systems which hold the user’s borrowed content until the lending library recalls it, Kindle allows the user to delete, to make room for something else, to change one’s mind. To clear out old content as one sees fit. That is a powerful feature.

Does this mean books I buy will no longer clog up my library forever? I had no idea that would be an option and it could really help with the overwhelming number of books on my list. I generally don’t even look at books with low ratings.

We are often way too harsh on historical films. While some historical films should be more realistic, others can be romanticized and should be recognized for what they are. The Sleeping Dictionary is one such film that can serve as a gateway for those interested in finding out more about the term.
And perhaps such films serve as a gateway to more learning about the term and its historical application. Yes, the film is inaccurate for historical fact, but its potential utility as a vehicle to inspire more learning would be moderate. The film is pretty, and it is entertaining. It is fiction, set in historical times.

Books are stored in the “cloud” for your Kindle, and all of your Kindle devices and Kindle Apps for computers and smartphones are linked to your Amazon account. To remove a book from the cloud, you go to Amazon.com and delete the book from your cloud library on the Amazon website. This can be found by clicking on your name in the upper right corner of the page, then clicking on “Account & Lists”, and then “Content and Devices”. You then click on the “Content” tab on the top of the page, find the book you want to delete and click on the three dots to the right of the book’s title. From there you select “Delete”. You will be asked to confirm that you want to delete the book. Once deleted from the cloud library, the book will be removed from your Kindle devices and Kindle Apps within a short period of time. The book will still appear to be on your devices until they have a chance to sync with Amazon’s cloud library. You can sync a Kindle by going to the Settings menu and selecting “Sync and Check for Items”. To sync a Kindle App, you simply pull down on the screen to refresh your library. The book will then disappear from all of your devices after syncing.

Merriam Webster’s Children’s Dictionary is a gateway to wordnerdism. I got this for my 8-year-old cousin and she’s currently in a phase where she’s trying to find the weirdest words in the book. The words are listed in A-Z order like the American Heritage Kids Dictionary, but instead of listing words by a particular theme, the sidebars have puns and jokes. So it’s kind of between the two. The font is big enough to not have to squint at the words, and the book is bound well enough that it won’t fall apart easily. It’s not as interactive or immersive as a dictionary as an app, but sometimes physical books just work better. My little cousin is absolutely thrilled with her new “treasure chest of secrets” and is lugging it around everywhere.

Most importantly, think about why you want to hide your books. Are you trying to prevent extreme choice paralysis? Then use the Downloaded filter. Are you trying to hide specific genres or even certain individual books (such as a borrowed Kindle book that you don’t want the current owner to see?) Then archive them. Are you trying to make a clean list of books you need to read? Then use collections. Most of this can be solved with a hybrid approach. My device is set to the ‘Downloaded’ filter, I archive all the gadgets and freebies that I receive which I don’t like, and I have a ‘Next Up’ collection for the books that I am currently most interested in reading. This approach keeps my digital reading life under control.

As a huge fan of the Kindle app on my tablet, I have a rather large library of eBooks. However, from time to time, my library becomes a bit of a mess as it contains a lot of finished reads that I don’t intend to read anymore. To remove these books from my library, I can go into ‘Library’ view within the app, find the book and press and hold the book cover. This brings up a menu and from here I can choose to either ‘Remove from Device’ which removes the book from the current device but leaves it in my Amazon account should I wish to re-download it at a later date. Alternatively, I can choose ‘Delete Forever’ which I only use for books that I’m certain I’ll never read again.
Just a side note: Remove from Device will only remove the book from the device that you’re currently on. All of your other devices will still have access to the book. If you want to remove it completely from your library, you can go to Amazon’s ‘Manage Your Content and Devices’ page via a browser and delete it there. This can be a bit of a pain, but it’s a nice way to organize and delete lots of books at once. Using your mobile to remove books is quick and easy to do on the go.
