Difference between cloud and device on kindle

Are you worrying that you content, bookmarks and books that you bought in Amazon will lost if you lost you kindle or if there is any damage to your kindle ? Then answer is NO. Content that is purchased from the Kindle Store is securely stored and available in the Cloud. If you are really confused about the word Cloud means. All your content is backed up always in Amazon servers. This includes copies of all your books, along with recent issues of newspapers and magazines.

Its not only about the books that you purchased but also the your personal documents also get backed up to cloud for FREE. To view your Cloud content, tap Cloud in the top left of the Home screen. 


One advantage of cloud concept in amazon is it not only take back up of your books, settings and bookmarks. Your personal documents are also saved in the Cloud if they have been emailed to your Kindle and if you have enabled Personal Document Archiving on the Manage Your Kindle page.

To view content stored on your Kindle, tap On Device. If you are preparing to go offline, tap Cloud and download to your Kindle any content that you want to have available when offline.

If you wish to download content that you have in the Cloud, tap Cloud on the Home screen, and then tap on the item(s) you want to download to your Kindle. You can cancel a download by tapping on the item’s title. Cloud items that have been downloaded to your Kindle display a check mark on the upper right corner of the cover image when in cover view and on the right side of the screen when in list view. Once you have downloaded an item, you can either open it from the Home screen or directly from the Cloud.

You can check the content of your cloud on your device at the same time you can check over web at http://amazon.com/myk
