When you remove a book from your Kindle, it's deleted from your device and no longer accessible unless re-downloaded. If it's a purchased book, it remains in your Amazon account cloud, allowing you to re-download it later. However, any notes or highlights made in the book won't be restored if you redownload. For personal documents or books not from the Amazon store, removing them from your Kindle permanently deletes them, so ensure you have backups if needed.
