Organising Your Library on Shelves

In addition to views of all your books, magazines and newspapers, your Library also includes a feature called
My Shelves where you can create named collections of books, periodicals and files. A shelf is a group of items that
you have collected under a common name, such as Mysteries or Cookbooks. You can give a shelf any name you like.
A book, periodical or file can appear in as many shelves as you like. For example, if your favourite book is a mystery
novel, you could include it on your Favourites shelf as well as on a new shelf you create called Mysteries.

1. In the Library, tap the category menu and select My Shelves.

3. Tap in the text field in the dialog box. When a keyboard appears, type the name of the shelf you want to create.
