84 views

Kindle books are stored in two main locations: on the device itself and on Amazon's cloud servers. When you download a book to your device, it's stored in the internal memory, allowing you to access it anytime. If you're using a Kindle app on another device like a smartphone or tablet, the books you buy are stored in the app's designated folder, usually within the device's internal storage or an SD card, if applicable. Additionally, all your purchases are automatically backed up to Amazon's cloud, from where you can download or stream them to any device linked to your account.
