Question

Some books in my Kindle cloud reader are gone. Where are they?

Community Answer

When your Kindle cloud reader books take more than 50 MB, the older downloaded books will be deleted automatically. If you sign out your Kindle cloud reader, the offline Kindle cloud reader books will also be deleted.

Question

If I have a regular old Kindle about five years old, not sure whether it's a cloud reader or desktop kindle app, can I read this on my computer if I link the kindle to the computer?

Community Answer

Yes, you may still read Kindle books on your computer by downloading the Kindle app. Once downloaded and installed, log in using the same Amazon account you used on your regular old Kindle.

Question

I have Kindle but can't access books now. They come up as numbers that I can't click into. What can I do?

Community Answer

Try to restart your Kindle. To restart it, you must hold the power button for about 40 to 45 seconds. Check if it works now. If it doesn't work after that, contact Kindle Support.
