#psa: #Howto #download #Kindle #books: Amazon is removing the book download to a file feature Feb 26th. Here's how to download your purchases.

#BoostingIsSharing<li>Log on to Amazon.com and click <strong>Account &amp; Lists</strong></li><li>Click <strong>Content Library</strong></li><li>Click <strong>Books</strong></li><li>Find a book and to the right, click the <strong>More actions</strong> button</li><li>In the dropdown, click <strong>Download &amp; Transfer via USB</strong></li><li>Read the dialog. Click one of your Kindle devices</li><li>Click the yellow <strong>Download</strong> button.</li>

Repeat 4 through 7 for each book or comic. There is no bulk download.

An .aws digital book file will download to your downloads folder. I've confirmed I can read it with Calibre on the Mac, an e-book reader. I expect the procedure will work on Windows or *nix.

**Note:** If the book is locked by DRM, you *may* only be able to view it on a Kindle, but you will have your copy forever. A good reason to buy DRM-free books.

**Please BOOST!**
