Question

How can I delete a book in the cloud reader?

Amy Wang

Community Answer

The cloud reader basically stores all the books you have, even if you've deleted it off your Kindle or phone, so to get rid of the book on the cloud reader, you'll have to delete the book completely. Go to Amazon, Manage Your Devices, and delete the book from there.

Question

How can I find the book I was reading? It was about a girl who was searching for her father and things she remembered about her dead mother.

Community Answer

That doesn't narrow it down very much. If you can remember any of the characters' names, or important object or place names, you can try googling them.

Just open the book again on your device and the page you were on (your bookmark) should be there.

Question

I can’t highlight in the Kindle Cloud Reader on an iPad. Any ideas on how to get it to work?

Community Answer

Make sure you're doing it right. Press down with your finger on the first word you want to highlight until it is underlined. when it is, drag your finger over the passage you want to be highlighted, carrying the underline with you. If this doesn't work, call Amazon customer service.

Try restarting your kindle, if that still doesn't fix it you may need to clear your cache. If this still doesn't work, contact support.
