You can simply remove a book from your device when you are done with it.

  1. Go to the  Kindle app on your iPhone or iPad.
  2. Tap Downloaded at the top.
  3. Touch and hold the title you wish to remove from your device.
  4. When the window pops up, tap Remove from the device.

Removing a book from your device will not delete it from your Amazon Cloud Reader book library. You can re-download books with Kindle on any device at any time.
