Question

Can I read while on airplane mode, and does it use up my family share data?

Community Answer

You can read on airplane mode and it does not take any data. Books don't require an internet connection to be read.

Question

How do I download a library book to the Kindle app on my iPad?

Community Answer

Generally, you can only check out a physical copy of a library book. Your library may or may not also offer e-books/downloads as a separate option. If it does, there will be a link to that catalog on your library's website. Within that catalog, you can search for Kindle books. The options will likely be very limited, if there are any, but if you find a book you like, you can send it to your Kindle app through the checkout process on the website.

My new iPad showing previously purchased books as not downloaded. What can I do?

Community Answer

Just click the icon of a cloud and the line pointing down beside a book, if there is one, and that should download it again.

Question

Will my iPad stop downloading books if I get too many?

Top Answerer

Yes, your iPad will stop downloading books if you run out of memory. This depends not just on the number of books that you have, and their size (a 400-page full-colour medical textbook takes up more memory than an 800-page unillustrated book), but also on everything else you have stored on the iPad, from books to movies to apps.
