Who uses Amazon’s cloud archiving and regularly emailed documents to his Kindle, knows the problem: clean up in the cloud is connected very awkward and with lots of clicking. Our Javascript bookmarklet allows you to delete up to 15 documents at a time, which greatly simplifies the task.

So a query requires Amazon for each document.

If you would like to use Amazon’s cloud archive for personal documents, but next to it about every day can email messages to the Kindle, a lot of gain in the long run unneeded files on the “Personal Documents” page of one’s own Kindle account on. Unfortunately, there is here to clean up a function that deletes more than one entry at a time. Instead, one must for each document initially on the “Actions …” go, “Remove document” Select, and then again to confirm the deletion by pressing “Yes”. If you want to only remove a file that is not tragic, but if a dozen or more documents have accumulated, it degenerates quickly into an annoying clicking orgy.
