\n<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\nPart 1: <\/strong> Introduction to Kindle Book <\/h2>\n
Developed by online retailer Amazon, a Kindle is a small hand-held electronic device for reading books. Similar to downloading music on iPod or iPad for listening, Kindle enables you to download eBooks for offline reading on the go. By far, there are in total 10 generations of Kindle devices, with each generation providing multiple editions. Some of these Kindle devices have been discontinued, while others are still available in the market. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nKindle books refer the books you have purchased from Amazon book store. A Kindle could store up to 14000 books, depending on the Kindle storage. These Kindle books are saved in ePub, AZW, AZW3 and Kindle file format designed by Amazon. It should be noted that all these Kindle books are DRM protected, which prevents Kindle books from being used by unauthorized persons in other ways. If you want to use purchased Kindle books in other ways like making a PPT, sharing with friends, etc., you will firstly need to remove the eBook DRM protection<\/a> and then convert DRM Kindle books to DRM-free book files in epub, pdf, txt, etc. <\/p>\n
Part 2: <\/strong>2 Ways to Back up Kindle Books <\/h2>\n
To back up Kindle books to PC, you could firstly try these 2 ways: directly transfer Kindle books to computer and back up Kindle books to Google Drive. The below content would show you how to back up Kindle books in these 2 ways in detail:<\/p>\n
Section 1: Transfer Kindle book to computer directly<\/strong><\/p>\n
If you have a Kindle eReader device, you could follow the below steps to back up Kindle books to PC:<\/p>\n
1.\tUse the USB cable to connect your Kindle to the computer. Kindle will show up as an external drive.\n<\/p>\n
2.\tGo to My Computer and open the drive via double-click.\n<\/p>\n
3.\tAll your ebooks will be saved in the folder labeled \"Documents\".\n<\/p>\n
4.\tCopy this folder to your computer to transfer Kindle books to computer <\/p>\n
However, if you don\u2019t use the Kindle eBook reader, you could still back up Kindle books to computer via the Internet cloud. The below steps would show you how to back up Kindle books to computer in this case:<\/p>\n
1.\tDownload and install the Kindle app on your computer.\n<\/p>\n
2.\tOpen Kindle app and sign in with your Amazon account. <\/p>\n
3.\tAll purchased books would be listed in the app. Right-click any book and click Download. This downloads the book to your computer so you can read it offline. <\/p>\n
4.\tThen you could copy the folder Amazon has saved the book in to other place on your computer for backup. (On Windows 8, you'll find the books in C:\\Users\\yourusername\\AppData\\Local\\Amazon\\Kindle\\application\\content. Windows XP, Vista and 7 need to go to C:\\Users\\yourusername\\Documents\\My Kindle Content. On a Mac, you'll find the book in ~\/Documents\/My Kindle Content.) <\/p>\n
In these ways, you could easily back up Kindle books to your computer. If you occasionally erase the books on Kindle, just copy the backup to your Kindle to restore.<\/p>\n
Section 2: Back up Kindle books to Google Drive<\/strong><\/p>\n
Also, besides backing up Kindle books to computer, you could also back up Kindle books to cloud service like Google Drive. Online cloud service offers you much bigger storage. The below steps would show you how to back up Kindle books to Google drive.<\/p>\n

2.\tAt the top left, click New and then File Upload. <\/p>\n
3.\tChoose the downloaded Kindle book file you want to upload. <\/p>\n

It should be noted that you can back up Kindle books to Google Drive only when you have downloaded Kindle books to computer.<\/p>\n
