Downloading Kindle books on either your app or the device allows you to read books on the go. However, your library can quickly fill up if you use it frequently, and it's best to clear out old titles to make room for new reads.

Once you've finished reading a book on your Kindle, you can easily delete it in just a few easy steps.

To delete a book on your Kindle device, simply press down on the book cover that you'd like to delete. This will open a pop-up menu, tap "Remove from Device."
