On an Amazon Kindle e-book reader, you have the ability to purchase and download e-books, blogs, and newspapers through The Kindle Store. When shopping The Kindle Store, you can choose to have a sample of any book available on the Kindle to your device free of charge. This allows you to read the first chapter before committing to purchasing the entire book. Amazon.com boasts of its large selection available on any model of the Kindle family, including more than 360,000 books. Once you have finished reading the sample, you can easily remove it from your Kindle device.

Select the sample book you would like to delete by using the five-way toggle to scroll to the item.
