Back up Kindle books using Kindle e-reader
This tip works for anyone who owns a Kindle e-reader. Itâs a quite useful idea to get access to the ebook library even when you donât have access to the internet.
Also, itâs good if you want to add to your Kindle â and therefore, Kindle cloud library â the books that you acquired from other sites. Weâve got the extended list of the sites that offer free Kindle ebooks from the public domain.
There are two steps to back up Kindle ebooks via Kindle e-reader:
1. Connect the Kindle to your computer with a USB cable
When you connect the Kindle to your computer, either PC or Mac, it will appear as an external drive. Open the drive icon, and locate the folder named âdocumentsâ.
Among other files types, the folder contains files in .azw format. Itâs a .mobi file, protected with Amazonâs own DRM.
2. Copy the folder to a desired destination
Drag the âdocumentsâ folder to a desired place on your disc. You can also copy it to any cloud service you use, like Dropbox or Google Drive.
These cloud services are different from the cloud served by the Amazon. The files there are yours, and no one will change or update them if you donât allow it.
Things to remember
Please keep in mind that youâll copy only the files that are stored on the Kindle e-reader, and not the ones archived in the cloud.
To back up all the books from your Kindle library, youâll first need to download them to the Kindle e-reader, which may take some time.
Back up Kindle books using Kindle desktop app
Using Kindle desktop app is convenient for Kindle users who donât own an e-reader, and use mobile apps (iOS, Android) to read the ebooks.
Itâs also good for Kindle e-reader owners who keep most of their books not on the e-reader but in the cloud.
There are four steps to back up Kindle books via Kindle desktop app:
1. Download the Kindle desktop app
The Kindle application lets you not only manage, but also read Kindle books on the computer. Itâs available for the following systems:
When you go to free Kindle apps page on Amazon and click on the Download button, the version that fits the operating system of your computer will start downloading immediately.
After instaling the app, open it and sign in with your Amazon credentials.
2. Download the books from the cloud
In the app, in the Library view on the left, youâll see how many books you have in your Kindle cloud library. There are three sections:
Each book thatâs not on your computer has a cloud icon in the bottom right corner.
To download the book (on Mac), either double-click on the book cover or select âDownloadâ from a Ctrl+Click menu.
There is no option to download the Kindle books in bulk. Youâll have to do it title by title, but with the double-click, itâs pretty fast.
Please have in mind that just like with Kindle e-reader, youâll have to download all the books from the archive to the Kindle app, if you want to back up all of them.
3. Locate the folder with downloaded books
During installation, Kindle desktop app creates a folder where all future downloads will be stored.
