Downloading your Kindle books one by one could take days. But with this clever step-by-step hack, you can grab 25 at a time and save your entire collection before Amazon locks it down this week.

Amazon is no longer allowing Kindle book downloads to your computer. Here's how to get ahead of it, and download your Kindle library.

If you're an avid e-book reader or someone who has an extensive library of Kindle content, now is the time to back up your books: Amazon is killing the option to save e-books to your computer.

Amazon confirmed the removal of the book download feature in a statement to The Verge. “Customers can continue reading books previously downloaded on their Kindle device, and access new content through the Kindle app, Kindle for web, as well as directly through Kindle devices with WiFi capability,” said Amazon spokesperson Jackie Burke.

Starting Feb. 26, 2025 (via ZDNet) you will no longer be able to download copies of your Kindle books and use those files as a backup. After that date, you will only be able to download books via Wi-Fi or through the Amazon platforms.
