HERE’S HOW HOW TO ORGANIZE YOUR KINDLE LIBRARY

The Kindle app for

Android (pictured)

iOS, Windows and

Mac OS allows

you to create

Collections on

your other devices

just as you would

on the Kindle.

and select Your Content and Devices. You

should see a list of all the books you’ve

downloaded. Click Show > Collections from

the drop-down menu at the top left of the

screen.

On the page that opens, click Create

new collection and give it a descriptive

name, like “To Read” or “Sci Fi.” Then click

the button labeled Create new collection.

Now go back to the Show drop-down

menu and select Books. Every book in your

library will be displayed in a list. Click the

three-dot button next to a book and select

Add to collections from the pop-up menu.

Another window pops up, from which you

can choose an existing collection or create a

new one. Once you’ve done so, click the

Add to collection button to add your book.

Despite its funky functionality, using

Collections on your Kindle device is

relatively simple. Select Your

Library from the home screen,

then press the three-dot icon

in the upper right and tap

Create New Collection. Name

the collection and tap OK.

Now go into your library

and find a book to add to this

new Collection. Long-press

the book, select Add To

Collection from the pop-up

window, then check the box

next to the appropriate

Collection.

You can also create and add to

Collections on the Kindle app for PC, Mac,

Android, and iOS. Though there are

variations in the app interface for each of

these platforms, the basic steps are similar.

Using the Android app as an example:

You can create Cloud Collections on the Amazon website, which

will sync with your Kindle.
