name of the existing sort order in the header to display other available sort options. You
can also sort items that you have stored in the Cloud.
To filter your content by type, on the Home screen tap My Items, located under the
toolbar. Filtering options include All Items, Books, Periodicals, Audible, Docs, and Active
Content. You can also filter items that you have stored in the Cloud.

To view more information about an item and access a menu of applicable options, go to
the Home screen and press and hold on the item's artwork (or name if using List view).
Menu options vary, but may include Add to Collection, Go To..., Book Description, Search
This Book, View Notes & Marks, and Remove from Device. For audiobooks, options
include Resume Playing, Play From Beginning, and Delete This Audiobook.

Using collections

If you store a lot of content on your Kindle, you can create collections for easier access.
You can add as many items as you like to each collection, including books, audiobooks,
active content and personal documents. Items can also be added to more than one
collection. Your Kindle Touch will sort your Home screen content by Collections after you
create your first collection.
To create a new collection:
1. On the Home screen, tap the Menu button.
2. Select Create New Collection.
3. Use the keyboard to type a name for the collection, then tap OK. A list of the items on your
Kindle that can be added to a collection is displayed. Note that periodicals and blogs
cannot be put into collections.
4. Tap the checkbox next to an item's title to add it to the collection, and tap Done when
finished.
You can add or remove items at a later time by tapping on the Menu button when in a
collection and selecting Add/Remove Items. Other options include Rename Collection and
Delete Collection. Note that deleting a collection from your Kindle Touch does not remove
the content stored on your device. Items stored on your Kindle Touch that were previously
placed into that collection will appear on the Home screen after the collection is deleted.
