Do you want to see all the books you’ve ever ordered on your Kindle? Or do you want to know if you accidentally purchased a book on Kindle? If you’re unsure which books you’ve purchased on Kindle, you’re not alone! Before you try to purchase the same book twice, read on to find how surprisingly easy it is to see your complete order history on your Kindle, the Kindle app, or a PC.
View Your Kindle Purchase History: On Your PC
You can easily find your Kindle order history by going here: https://www.amazon.com/hz/mycd/digital-console/contentlist/booksAll/dateDsc/.
Or follow the steps below:
- First, log in to your Amazon account.
- Click on the tab that reads, “Account & Lists.”
- Click on “Your Account”
- Click on “Manage Your Content and Devices.”
- Select “Books” and “All” on the webpage. Every book you’ve ever purchased will appear here.
If you want to search your purchased books by specific categories, you can sort your books by title, author, or acquired date.
Lastly, if you want to see what you paid for each book go to https://www.amazon.com/gp/your-account/order-history, then select digital orders. You will see all your Kindle orders (as well as music and video orders). To see what you paid you will need to tap to view the invoice for each order.
View Kindle Purchase History on Your Kindle Device or app
On any Kindle device, or on the Kindle app, you can see all of your purchased Kindle books by simply tapping on the “Cloud” icon.
On a Kindle Fire or on the Kindle app, there should be a spot near the bottom of the screen labeled “Cloud/Device.” If you tap “Device,” you’ll see what books are currently stored on your device. Tapping “Cloud” will show you your complete order history.
For older Kindles, the “Cloud” can be found in a section titled, “archived items.”

Can’t Find a Purchased Book on Your Kindle?
It’s important to note that even if you delete a Kindle book on your device, you can still access it and read it again thanks to storage in the “Cloud.” The Kindle cloud holds all of the Kindle books you have ever purchased, and it allows you to re-download any book to any of your registered devices again and again. So, by following the steps listed above, you should be able to find every purchased item, even if you deleted the book from your device!
However, if you recently bought a Kindle book and it isn’t appearing or downloading on your device, there may be a syncing issue. Amazon suggests these tips for troubleshooting:
- Make sure your device is connected to Wifi.
- Tap “Sync” on your device so new content downloads and updates can appear. Keep in mind that it may take some time for larger files to download.
- Check if your payment went through. Click on “Manage Your Content and Devices,” then go to “Settings.” From here, you can check or update your payment information. If you notice a mistake, you can edit the information and try purchasing the Kindle book again.
How to Re-Download a Kindle Book
While looking through your purchase history, if you stumble upon a great Kindle book you want to re-read, it’s simple to download it back onto your device from the Cloud. On your Kindle or through your Kindle app, follow these 3 steps:
- From the Books homepage of your Kindle Device (or the home screen of your Kindle App) tap the Kindle content library labeled “Books.”
- Tap on the “Cloud” tab to view the books that aren’t currently on your device.
- Simply tap your desired Kindle book to download it. After it downloads, you should see the title appear in your Kindle content.
