68 views
Cancelling Amazon Prime does not cause you to lose access to your Kindle books. Your purchases, including Kindle eBooks, are tied to your Amazon account and not your Prime subscription. You'll still be able to access and read your purchased Kindle books via the Kindle app or a Kindle device. However, you will lose access to Prime Reading content, which allows Prime members to borrow books at no additional cost. Any books you've borrowed from Prime Reading will be removed from your account upon cancellation.
