Q&A for How to Archive a Book on a Kindle

You can still select Delete without removing the title from your Amazon library. As long as you purchased the title through Amazon, hitting Delete will only remove the title from your device, but not from your library. The title will be archived in your library. But if you didn't buy the content from Amazon, you aren't able to archive it, so your options are leaving it on the device or deleting it for good.

To create a collection, find the Create New Collection option, which is located under the Menu that can be accessed from the Home screen. When prompted, name the collection and select Done. To add books to the collection, find the name of the book you want to add. Tap and hold the title, and when the options appear, select Add to Collection, then choose the right collection.

As long as you purchased them from Amazon, then if you try to buy a book you already purchased, you will get a message saying that you have already purchased that item.

Go to Archived items. Use the keyboard to select the page number. Then select the "return" button on the keyboard.

Start by logging in to your Amazon Kindle account from a computer or mobile device. Go to your archives, find the title you want to remove, and click Actions beside it. When prompted, select Delete From Library, then Yes to confirm. The archive list will be updated the next time you sync your Kindle with your library.

Select Menu from the Home screen, and then locate Settings. Once in the Settings feature, look for an option called Reset Device. Select this. If you must, select Confirm to initiate the reset.

You may want to log into your account on a regular computer, which should have your full book list. You can then select "deliver" and it will be downloaded to your Kindle Fire.

It may not have been purchased from Amazon or might have been sideloaded. Kindle treats these files differently. To resolve this, see if the book is in your Amazon account under "Manage Your Content and Devices." If it's missing, it’s likely sideloaded. Delete it manually from the Kindle app on your iPad by long-pressing the book cover and choosing "Delete." This will not affect your purchased books in the cloud.

Make sure you're logged into the same Amazon account on both devices, sync your Kindle by going to Settings and selecting "Sync My Kindle," check your library and set the filter to "All" to view all items, try removing the book and re-borrowing it, and restart your device by holding the power button until it restarts. If the issue persists, contact Amazon Support for further assistance.

If your archived items show as zero, try logging into your Amazon account on a browser and go to "Manage Your Content and Devices" to check for your purchased items. Ensure you are logged into the correct account on your Kindle and sync it by selecting "Sync My Kindle" under Settings. If the items are still missing, contact Amazon customer support for assistance.

If the navigation bar on your Kindle does not show "Books" or "Library," try these steps: Make sure you are on the Home screen and tap the "Home" or "Library" icon at the bottom of the screen to access your books. Check your Kindle's software version and update it if needed by going to Settings > Device Options > Update Your Kindle. Restart your Kindle by holding the power button for about 40 seconds. If the issue persists, contact Amazon customer support for assistance.

To archive a book on your Kindle Paperwhite, remove it from your device while keeping it in your Amazon account. If "Archive" isn't visible, open the book and return to the home screen. Find the book, press and hold the title, and select "Remove Download" to keep it in your library but free up space on your device.

Tap the Home or Library icon at the bottom or top of the screen to return to the main menu. If you're stuck in the archived items list, press the back arrow or tap the screen's top menu bar to find navigation options. If the issue persists, restart your Kindle by holding the power button for about 40 seconds.

Kindle doesn’t allow you to archive collections, but you can manage them by keeping the Read Collection on your device and moving books to it when finished. Then remove the book from your device by selecting "Remove from Device." The book stays in the collection and your Amazon account. Sync your Kindle to save changes.

If you can’t find an archived book on your 2011 Kindle, try these steps: Ensure you're logged into the correct Amazon account where the book was purchased. On your Kindle, go to the Home screen and select "Archived Items" if available, or check your library with the filter set to "All Items." Sync your Kindle by going to Settings and selecting "Sync & Check for Items." If the book still doesn’t appear, check "Manage Your Content and Devices" on your Amazon account in a web browser to see if the book is listed and resend it to your Kindle from there.

If the "Go to" icon only shows locations and not a proper beginning or chapters, it might be due to how the book is formatted. Here's how to troubleshoot: 1. Check if the book has a table of contents. Tap the menu and look for "Table of Contents" to navigate manually. 2. Ensure the book is fully downloaded by syncing your Kindle. 3. If the issue persists, it might be a problem with the book's file. Delete the book, then redownload it from your Amazon account.

Go to the home screen and tap the search bar. Type the author’s name or book title, then select "All" or "Library" to search both your device and the cloud.

On Kindle devices, there isn’t a specific "Already Read" or "Read" folder, but you can use collections to organize your books. Go to "Library," tap "Collections," and create a new one called "Read" or "Already Read." Long-press a book, select "Add to Collection," and choose your new collection. This helps you track books you've read while keeping them organized. You can always access them later in your library.

Make sure you're logged into the correct Amazon account. Check your library and set the filter to "All" to see both downloaded and cloud books. Sometimes books are removed by Amazon due to licensing issues; verify their status in your purchase history under "Manage Your Content and Devices" on Amazon. Restart or sync your Kindle to refresh your library. If you still can’t find the books, contact Amazon support with your invoice details.

Yes, you can archive multiple books easily using the Amazon website or app. Log in to your Amazon account and go to "Manage Your Content and Devices."

On the Kindle Paperwhite, you cannot "archive" books, but you can remove them without permanently deleting. Long-press the book cover, choose "Remove Download," and it will remain in your cloud library for redownloading anytime.

If your Kindle Signature Edition doesn’t show the "Remove from Device" option, try updating your Kindle via Settings, then Device Options, and selecting Update Your Kindle. Check storage management in Settings, then Device Options, Advanced Options, and Storage Management to remove downloaded books. Restart your Kindle by holding the power button for about 40 seconds. In your Library, filter by Downloaded and press and hold a book to see if the option appears. If the issue persists, contact Amazon Support for further help.

The "Archived Items" option is no longer directly available on the home page of most modern Kindle devices. Instead, archived books are included in your Library. To find them, go to the Library, select "All" or a similar filter to see all books, including those stored in the cloud. Books with a cloud icon are your archived items, which you can download by tapping them.

No, deleting a book from your Kindle will not remove it from a shared Kindle using the same Amazon account. The book remains in the account's library and can be downloaded onto other devices linked to the account. To remove it completely, you need to delete it from your Amazon account.

To retrieve archived books on your Kindle, open your Kindle device or app and go to your Library section. On Kindle devices, find the "Archived" or "Cloud" tab, while in the Kindle app, tap the "Cloud" icon. Select the book you want, and it will download back to your device. Archiving only removes books from active storage but doesn't delete them, allowing you to re-download them anytime with an active Amazon account.

You do not state the model you have. On my Kindle second Gen there is an option to change the sort order. To access this feature, I scroll to the very top of the screen, then arrowing to the right, I can select a different sort order.
