No, you don't actually own your Kindle library. When you purchase eBooks for your Kindle, you are essentially buying a license to access the content. This means Amazon retains the right to modify, delete, or restrict access to the content if necessary. To secure your collection, consider backing up your Kindle books using tools that comply with legal guidelines.
