There were some free books that I bought on my Kindle that I wanted to remove. To be perfectly honest they were Christian books. I'm not against them at all. It's just not my preferred reading material since well... I happen to not be Christian. I avoid the books that are too racy or too scary, but sometimes it's hard to know if something is going to be heavily religious unless you carefully read all the reviews and know what kind of writer the author is.
I googled how to delete books and learned that you can take books off your Kindle list, BUT it is always in your Archived Folder so it's not really gone from your account which can be accessed through the reader.
I've read how some people had racy books on their Kindle and then wanted to give their reader to their children, but couldn't because once you have a book on your Kindle it's there forever. Kids can easily access your Archived folder to see what you've put there. I'm sure you all have nothing but G rated classics, but if you have something there by mistake... oops!
This is a problem. I hope Amazon does something about this. I'd also like them to label their Free Limited Time Offer books as Christian or Violent or Sexual Content or whatever.
Just thought I'd let you Kindle readers know about this.
