Your "Library" will have two tabs.  All and Downloaded.  If you plan on 
being away from service, just make sure you download everything you need 
and you can check the downloaded tab to make sure it is done.  I'm not 
sure of the process it uses either on the windows app or the phone app 
to remove the full downloads.  I just checked my directory and it says I 
only have 7 downloaded at this time.

I just take the phone as usual and read from there.
BTW, it seems it uses little resources on the phone, but on both win10 
and win11 computers, the Kindle app is pretty demanding for some reason.
