I am new to Amazon Kindle ebooks. I am using my computer to read Kindle ebooks. I am using Kindle-for-Pc software. I just downloaded an ebook, but I cannot find it anywhere. I need to find it so that I can backup in my flash drive, in case something happens to the computer. I can perfectly read the book from the Kindle-for-Pc program, but I need to find the actual ebook, since it was not free and I don't want to lose it.

I have Windows 10 and also use the PC software. Mine are stored in my "Documents" folder in subfolder "My Kindle Content". That would ordinarily be "%HOMEPATH%DocumentsMy Kindle Content", but I have changed the location of my Documents folder to another drive.

On the Kindle app's toolbar go to "Tools|Options..." and click on the "Content" tab. Here you will see the location of your files along with a button giving you the option to change that location.

I found mine (on Windows 10) in

C:UsersYOURUSERNAMEDocumentsMy Kindle Content

There's a sub-folder for each downloaded book, containing the .azw and .azw.res files (didn't see a .apnx file).

Amazon's Kindle for PC reader saves a copy of your books to your hard drive, once you download them. Note that you have to download them from the cloud; new books aren't downloaded to a device unless (1) you told Amazon to send that book to that device or (2) you downloaded the book from the app on that device.

By default, the books are saved in this folder:

C:UsersYOURUSERNAMEAppDataLocalAmazonKindleapplicationcontent

Replace YOURUSERNAME with your Windows username.

Typically, you will have two files per book: a .apnx and a .azw. Backup both of them. You may want to consider an automated backup service to backup these and your other files.
