View Kindle Books On Mac



Amazon has got a pretty thorough ecosystem for Kindle, especially in eBook buying, managing, publishing and reading. So why should we back up Kindle books?

Download Kindle for macOS 10.10 or later and enjoy it on your Mac. ‎The Kindle app gives users the ability to read eBooks on a beautiful, easy-to-use interface. You may also read your book on your phone, tablet and Kindle e-Reader, and Amazon Whispersync will automatically sync your most recent page read, bookmarks, notes, and highlights, so. Kindle books can only be read in the official Amazon Kindle app, on a Kindle device, or via the Kindle Cloud Reader. Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

Believe it or not, your Kindle books are not really owned by you, Amazon would permanently delete your books from your Kindle library without saying a word. For example, your account got hacked , and Amazon decided to unilaterally close it, and you would lost all your purchased books.

So my advice is that do not trust any of the ebook sellers. Please remember, you don't really own the eBook even if you buy it, you just have the rights to read it. This is really nonsense, right?

The Restriction to Backup Your Kindle Books

The only restriction to backup Kindle Books is Digital Rights Management (DRM). Why should we remove Kindle DRM to back up the books? Can we just copy the downloaded .azw files into a new folder directly?

No, we can't. In fact, if Amazon wipes a book from your Kindle library, you are not allowed to read it even you have the .azw file because Amazon tells the content server that you are not the owner of the book any more. And the connection between you and content server is the DRM. That's why you need to remove DRM to back up Kindle books.
