Answers.Body: <p>When I delete a book from "Manage Your Content and Devices" it will automatically sync and be removed from my non-Kindle device (e.g. Android tablet with Kindle app) but it does NOT automatically delete the book file from my Kindle 7th Gen. device, even after Sync-ing the device.

  <p>My two cents, if only to add to the confusion:</p>
  
  <p>Use <code>amazon.com/myk</code> to <strong>manage</strong> content.  To read material use <code>read.amazon.com</code>, or an app, or a Kindle device.</p>
  
  <p>When you manage content these are the options I see for actions:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Deliver to  Default Device  (or)  Others

  <p>You should be able to delete <strong>from</strong> a device.  The option should be to delete local copy only, or delete local and cloud.</p>
