Hi Jonny Greenwood
This is a big problem .
You can’t delete books from Kindle Archive on your iPad
thanks for solution
I particularly like the fact that you cannot delete books from your iPad archive unless you head to your own dashboard. Nice set of tips Jonny.
I have found the easiest platform to use for people just starting out is Kindle. Now that they have upgraded to the new Kindle 8, formatting has got even easier. Most people really struggled with converting to mobi files.Kindle readers are becoming more ‘word’ friendly allowing people to format using tables and bullet points without having to convert to mobi files.
Great information, and you are right this is something new to me. I’m not really familiar with Kindle on iPad.
