How to put my Kindle books on the Phone

Import only the books you want

Are you afraid that the moment you start syncing your Kindle and Kindle for your phone, all your Kindle ebooks will download automatically and take too much of your iPad’s memory? It won’t happen.

When you open the Kindle app, you’ll see two tabs at the bottom: “Cloud” and “Device.”

Cloud tab

When you tap the Cloud button, you’ll see all the books that are stored in your Kindle cloud library.

The list includes all the books that you have added to your Amazon account:

the ones you bought in the Kindle Store,

the ones you sideloaded to your Kindle or a Kindle app on another device – these personal documents are synced between devices, too

Although you see these books in your Kindle app for iPad or iPhone, they are not downloaded to the device yet. You can do it easily, by tapping the book (see the screenshot above, on the left).

Device tab

Your Kindle app comes with just one document that is pre-downloaded. It’s a simple guide with a few tips to get you started.

Once you download any book from the Cloud tab, it will appear in the Device section. Every book available in the Device tab can be accessed offline, which means you open and read it even when your iPad is not connected to the internet.

I suggest you don’t import all the books to the Kindle for your phone. There is no need to do that. Download only the titles you are reading right now or going to read next (plus the custom dictionary, if you are using it).

It could be a few of them, even a few hundred, but think twice before packing the Kindle app with thousands of ebooks you’re not going to read anytime soon.
