The cloud is your friend. All of your purchased titles are stored in the ‘Cloud’ tab, not just what you have downloaded. In order to view the same list of titles on your devices, you need to make sure you are viewing the correct filter. On your app’s library page, click ‘All’ or ‘Cloud’ at the top of the page instead of ‘Downloaded’. This will show you a list of all of the titles that you own, regardless of whether they are on the device that you are currently using. By syncing your library, you are also syncing the cloud view of your library and your current reading position. Make sure to enable Whispersync on all of your devices and visit the cloud view of your library regularly to click ‘Sync’. New purchases that you make on any device will be reflected in the cloud view of your library on all of your devices. This is not a file transfer situation. This is just a matter of acknowledging that you have a master list of titles in the sky, and each of your devices needs to acknowledge that same list.

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.

One thing to note is that the 10 device limit is for devices authorized to download books on your account. Most people will never come near this limit, but power users with a lot of phones, tablets and laptops may run into this occasionally. If you do, you can deauthorize devices from the Play Books settings page on the web. Note that this does not affect reading on the web, which is unlimited. The 10 device limit is only for downloading books to read offline in apps.

Shared reading experiences for a fandom. I am part of a book club and we read books on our Kindles and use a private Goodreads group for our shared reading experience. We can add notes and highlights to our eBooks and if enabled, other club members can see the most popular parts of the book as well as their friends’ highlights. All highlights are synced to the members’ devices whether they added them on their e-reader or laptop. Thus, my highlighted quotes are synced and I can access them when I write my discussion post for the book club. Shared reading becomes a little less solitary thanks to this technology.

A good way to look at this is with the analogy of gaming consoles. No one would expect a game written for a PlayStation to work on an Xbox. In much the same way, a Kindle is a dedicated reading platform, similar to a game console. Therefore, an app for reading books written for a Nook will not work on a Kindle. A tablet or smart phone is like a PC and can emulate different environments to run different games or in this case, apps. A Kindle Paperwhite is a PlayStation, a iPad is a PC that can run a PC version of a game written for another console, but you cannot run a PlayStation game on an Xbox. In this case, the analogy is not perfect but it does help to frame the problem.

My little trick for reading on both devices is to always stop at the end of a chapter. For some reason the two devices seem to sync better up to a chapter end than to any arbitrary page number. Thus if I finish reading a chapter on my phone, I know that when I pick up my tablet to continue reading, I will start on the correct page for the start of the next chapter. However, if I stop reading in the middle of a chapter on my phone, then there is a 50/50 chance that I will pick up reading on the correct page on my tablet. This is just one of the little idiosyncrasies that I have grown to live with.

the subscription options are pretty solid if you're a heavy reader. Barnes & Noble offers 'Nook Unlimited,' which is their answer to Kindle Unlimited. For a monthly fee, you get access to a massive library of ebooks, including bestsellers, classics, and niche titles. It's not every single book in the store, but the selection is impressive. I love how it lets me binge-read series without buying each book individually. The coolest part? You can try it free for 30 days to see if it fits your reading habits.
They also have 'Nook Audiobooks,' which works like Audible but integrates seamlessly with the Nook ecosystem. If you're into audiobooks, this is a game-changer—especially since you can switch between reading and listening without losing your place. The subscriptions aren't perfect—some newer releases take a while to appear—but for voracious readers, they’re a budget-friendly way to keep your TBR pile overflowing.

I’m using the content server from Calibre with the free ebook reader Cool Reader. While not exactly syncing ebooks for free like the official apps of Barnes & Noble, Kobo and others do, it’s working great for me so far. Other indie ebook reader apps for Android, like ReadEra, seem to require manual backups of added ebooks, though. But for the tech-savvy type, running your own personal Calibre server to sync your whole library of books, including sideloaded ones, is certainly possible.

Your archived items are also archived on your old device (even if you deleted them from your downloaded books list to make room). Now that you have a device with more storage, you might want to re-download some of these archived books. Make sure you’re viewing your library as ‘All’ or ‘Cloud’ and not just ‘Downloaded’. I discovered that I have a complete history of all my purchases over the last years, and can even re-download books I’ve purchased on sale years ago (I found three such books from 2017 that I had purchased but never read). Transferring to a new device became a fun library excavation.

This framing device for a visionary journey has been around for thousands of years. But it has been brought to perfection by Dante, who took his readers on a guided tour of his rather complex cosmology. His use of Virgil as guide to the afterlife is particularly successful in allowing for dialogue on the journey and also lending great authority to his vision. As has been mentioned, the symbolic geography of the journey is of major importance – the descent to the pit of Hell, the crossing of rivers, the ascent up the mountain of Purgatory in concentric circles. The numerology of the work is also of great significance – 3 parts to the journey, 9 circles of Hell, 7 terraces of Purgatory, 9 levels of Paradise, all of this symbolizing in a rather medieval and theological manner the numerological symbolism of the 9s.
The only being in Hell is a frozen, impotent three headed giant. He is not powerful and does not rule. This is part of the theological point that evil is ultimately empty. Almost all of the sensations in the Inferno are unpleasant: you hear screams, smell awful smells, are subjected to extreme temperatures, touch horrible things. There are almost no pleasant sensations in Hell. The beautiful memories of the world above create a deeper sense of pain in the souls in Hell. The pictures of happiness above serve to make their torments worse.
