Content previously purchased from the Kindle Store but removed from a user’s active Kindle device or Kindle app library is considered to be in a state of preservation. This allows users to declutter their active library while still retaining the ability to access that content at a later date. For example, after reading a book, an individual might choose to remove it from their device, knowing it can be readily retrieved if needed.
This feature provides several advantages. Primarily, it efficiently manages storage space on Kindle devices and within the Kindle app, enabling users to maintain a streamlined and easily navigable collection of actively used material. Furthermore, it offers a convenient method for retaining access to previously acquired titles without incurring additional costs, ensuring long-term availability of purchased digital media. This functionality originated alongside the Kindle platform, providing users with a method for managing their digital library as it expanded.
