Save Your Kindle Books Before USB Feature Disappears
If you're a Kindle user, you need to act quickly. Amazon is set to remove a crucial feature this week: the ability to download and transfer Kindle books to your computer via USB.
Key Changes Coming:
Starting February 26, Amazon will no longer allow users to download and transfer books onto a computer using the Download & Transfer via USB feature.
What stays the same: You’ll still be able to read books on your Kindle device, access content through Kindle for Web, or via the Kindle app.
The feature, available for over a decade, allowed users to control and manage their downloaded Kindle books on their own computers.
Why This Matters:
For many users, the ability to transfer ebooks to a computer was a key way of managing large libraries and backing up purchased content. If you're someone who likes to keep a physical copy of your books, or simply prefers to organize them on your desktop, now is the time to act before the feature is gone for good.
What You Need to Do:
Download your Kindle books to your computer using the USB transfer method before February 26.
After that, you will need to rely on other options like the Kindle app, web access, or reading directly from your Kindle device.
Conclusion:
If you're an avid Kindle user, take a few moments to back up your library while this feature is still available. After February 26, you'll have to explore new methods to access and manage your ebooks.
