More About Managing Items
When you remove a Kindle book you bought from Amazon, we automatically save all of your annotations for the book in case you ever want to download it again. If you remove a subscription issue that is older than seven days, a blog of any age, or an item you did not get from Amazon, any annotations you created on Kindle for those items do not get saved. Your “My Clippings” file will still remain as a separate file containing all the clippings you added regardless of whether the content is a book, subscription, or blog, or was purchased from Amazon or not. See Chapter 3 for more information
