Answers.Body: <p>Yeah, accidentally deleted all my purchases from Kindle. Got in touch with the customer service, and was informed I would have to purchase each book separately, and then talk to them again to obtain a refund for each. A real pain because I had about a hundred ebooks, some costly.</p>

Body: <p>I recently permanently deleted my book from the Kindle Cloud and/or Content Library. I searched online and this is the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201252650" rel="nofollow noreferrer">information I read on the issue</a>.</p>
  
  <p>It says:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p><strong>Important</strong>: After you delete an item from Manage Your Content and

  <p><strong>My question was, that since I have already paid for this book at some given point and yet have to repurchase it—will it be free the second time?</strong></p>
  
  <p>I could try it myself by repurchasing but did not want to charge myself and then hassle by requesting for a refund. Furthermore, knowing that you "own" these books even if a hacker maliciously deletes your Content Library would be comforting. </p>
  
  <p>Since I have had a very good experience with the Amazon Customer Center, perhaps they'd give it for free regardless of stated policy. </p>
