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 cover (or name if using list view). Menu
options vary, but may include Add to Collection, Go To..., Book Description, Search This
Book, View Bookmarks, and Remove from Device.
Using collections
Cloud Collections enable you to organise the content on your Kindle Paperwhite into
customised categories that are stored in the Cloud. Your collections are synced between
other devices and reading apps that are registered with the same Amazon account and
support Cloud Collections. You can add as many items as you like to each collection,
including books, active content and personal documents. Items can also be added to more
than one collection. Note that newspapers, magazines and blogs currently cannot be
added to collections. For information on devices and apps that support Cloud Collections,
go to www.kindle.com/support.
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, then 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,
Delete This Collection, and visibility settings. To exit a collection, tap the Home or Back
button.
To filter the content on your Home screen by collection, tap My Items and select
Collections.
To set a collection so that it appears in all views, press and hold a collection cover or
collection title, then tap Show in All Views. Note that this setting is device-specific. To
change this setting, press and hold on the collection cover or collection title, then tap
Show Only in Collections View.
Tips for using Cloud Collections:
If you have existing collections from previous devices or other reading apps, they will be
imported automatically the very first time you register a device or reading app that
supports Cloud Collections.
