Closing your Amazon account will delete your Kindle books, as your purchases are tied to your account. To retain access to your books, consider deactivating your account instead of closing it, or download and save your books externally before closing your account. Remember, once the account is closed, there's no going back, and any unsaved content will be permanently lost.
