Archives and Deleting Books Forever
Background: When you look at 'Archives' on your Kindle, you will see a list of books purchased from Amazon that are not on your Kindle.
Amazon books on your Kindle + Books listed in archives = all books purchased from Amazon.
If you remove an Amazon book from your Kindle, the number of books on your Kindle decreases by one, and the number of books listed in your archives increases by one.
All books purchased from Amazon are stored on the Amazon servers and can be downloaded to the Kindle at any time by selecting it from the archive list (as long as you have a Whispernet connection).
Personal documents and books purchased from sources other than Amazon are not stored on the Amazon servers and you must keep your own backup copy.
Removing books from the Kindle To remove a book from your Kindle, use the 5-way to move to the book title and then move the 5-way to the right to display the book's detail page. You can also move the 5-way to the left, but it's very easy to accidentally delete a collection when you do that
Select the option "Remove from Device". If the option is "Delete This Document" rather than "Remove from Device", the book was not purchased from Amazon; if you delete it, there will not be a backup copy on Amazon's servers.
Occasionally, a book gets "stuck" and cannot be removed; instead, it remains greyed out on the Kindle even after you remove it. If this happens, connect the Kindle to you computer via USB and manually delete the book's .azw (or .azw1 or .tpz) file and its matching .mbp (or .tan) file.
Deleting books forever To permanently delete a book from the Amazon archive, you need to go to your Manage Your Kindle page on the Amazon web site
Locate the book in 'Your Orders'
Click on the + to the left of the book title to show additional options
Click on the 'Delete this title' button
Warning: this is a permanent delete. If you want to read the book again, you will have to re-purchase it from Amazon.
If a book has been removed from your Kindle and does not appear in 'Your Orders', but still appears in your archive list on the Kindle, you have probably moved the book to trash in Your Media Library. To check: Go to Your Account on the Amazon web site
In 'Digital Content', click on the link to 'Your Collection'
Once in Your Collection, click on the drop-down box and select 'Trash'
Take the book out of Trash
Go back to Manage Your Kindle; the book should now appear in Your Orders and can be deleted.
