Kindle Paperwhite update?

Stargazer77 · ‎03-09-2010

I bought a Kindle Paperwhite in November. It's my first Kindle and this is my first update. I don't care for the new home screen layout, but it's not a big deal to me overall.

When I click My Library I see the books I've checked out from my local digital library. They're either expired or I returned them, yet they're still there and I can't get rid of them. Does anyone know a way around this?

My PW is an older one but try pressing on a title. When I do that a message comes up asking me if I want to delete it.

In the Library view, press a title and a menu should pop up with options, including Add to Collection, Book Description, and Remove from Device. Press Remove from Device to delete the book from your Paperwhite Library.

I did that pre-update, but I don't see that option post-update. It only says add to home, add to collection and book description. If I don't figure it out this weekend I'll call Amazon next week. I can't imagine I'm the only person would dislike this feature.

EDITED TO ADD: I figured it out (sort of). I had to go into my Amazon account and delete it from there. Then sync my Paperwhite and the expired digital library books disappeared. I don't know why they would take away the option to do that right from the Kindle. I still may give them a call to see what they say.

If you find out please let me know! THANKS so much. I thought it was just me!
