Amazon Merges Cloud Drive and Kindle Storage

Like Google a few months ago, Amazon is unifying its consumer cloud storage space.

Kindle users used to have 5GB of extra space in addition to the free 5GB of Cloud Drive. Now both offerings are merging to offer 10GB for Kindle customers.

The updated offer is only available for Kindle customers. Amazon customers without a Kindle are still stuck with only 5GB of Cloud Drive.

The new offer also means that every Kindle e-books or documents send with the ‘Send to Kindle’ features are available in a sub-folder of the Amazon Cloud Drive. Documents files are still converted for easy Kindle consultation but the service also keep a copy of the original file format.

The consolidation of both services means that you’ll be able to manage, move, copy or delete files more easily.

The service originally pitched mostly for videos and photos is opening itself to more various files with the merger.
