1) included in the deleted documents were public domain PDFs that I did not acquire through Amazon, and some AZW3 content I created from my own writing using Calibre. So neither kind of files included any Amazon metadata. Even if they are deleting content "unintentionally" due to some device time drift between internet connections, they know this is happening and apparently have done nothing to fix it. Microsoft/Hewlett Packard do not delete files from my PC even if I alter the device time. 2) Amazon did not delete content I had purchased from them, downloaded to my PC, and then sideloaded to the PW. 3) The option to change or delete the device's WiFi login credentials is greyed out while it is in airplane mode. So, If I want to keep it off the internet permanently (which I do at this point, since I always download purchased content from Amazon to my PC and add the book to my Calibre library, so as to have a reliable local copy), I either have to endure the deletion of all the side-loaded content I re-added to the device a few weeks ago, all over again, or just remember never, ever, to take it out of airplane mode. Right now I prefer the latter, but if I ever do a device reset, I will delete its WiFi password then. |

Um, if I try to delete the WiFi password (saved to Amazon's servers!), or to delete the WiFi connection saved to the PW, neither action appears to execute unless the device is connected to the internet. And I see no option to delete the device password from my Amazon account side of things (in my account in a browser).

This is so if you buy a second Amazon device and ask them to pre-register it to your Amazon account, it can use a nearby "helper" device to (not ask it directly for your WiFi password), but connect to Amazon and query passwords for the account that the device should be pre-registered to. A lot of my friends like their Echo devices, and it's a lot easier to setup than the old WiFi provisioning method. You can delete passwords saved to Amazon by viewing the preferences tab on the MYCD page. https://www.amazon.com/mycd |

I can't remember the last registration. I've registered or re-registered Kindles about 8+ times. ISharing WiFi password certainly an option I'd never pick on Amazon, Apple, Google, MS (I use local accounts) or anything else. Last edited by Quoth; 02-11-2024 at 07:03 AM. |

Amazon removed books from my Kindle

This is just me spitballing. Personally I think this has to do with KU if it’s not an egregious bug. Whether you subscribe or not I don’t think it matters. Amazon has messed up this entire process IMO. See I think Amazon doesn’t like people subscribing and downloading their 20 books then turning on airplane mode. Authors get paid by pages read. Amazon can’t monitor that without the Kindle phoning home. This is their boneheaded way of fixing the problem. I mean it wouldn’t be the first time they’ve done something stupid. Then again I could be completely wrong. |

But you don't have to share it?
I see the newer FW I have on a PW3 does have Quote:
I never opted to save WiFi passwords. That's a crazy idea. |
