Chapter 3 Acquiring & Managing Kindle Content
remove options are contextual, which means they change depending on the type of content you are
trying to remove. Your content will remain securely stored in the Cloud for downloading at a later
time. Your personal documents are only saved in the Cloud if they were e-mailed to your Kindle and
you have enabled Personal Document Archiving. Note that files transferred to your Kindle using the
USB cable will be permanently deleted when you remove them, because they are not stored in the
Cloud.
Periodicals
Newspapers and magazines are stored in folders by periodical name. When you open the folder,
you can select All to view all of the periodicals you have stored in the Cloud or Downloaded to
view just the issues downloaded to your Kindle. Issues that are more than eight issues old will be
deleted from your device automatically to free up space for new content. Newspapers that are more
than 14 issues old and magazines that are more than 40 issues old will be deleted from the Cloud
automatically. "Expiring" next to an issue indicates that it will be deleted soon. Press and hold a
periodical folder to view the following options: Download Latest Issue and Remove All Back Issues.
You can view more options when you tap the Menu icon located on the periodical's cover when in
grid view or on the right side of the screen when in list view. Options include Add to Home, Add
to Collection, Go To First Page, Go To Sections & Articles, Search This Issue, Keep This Issue, View
Notes & Marks, View Back Issues and Delete This Issue. You can also view these options by pressing
and holding on the name or cover of the issue.
There are two ways to keep a copy of an issue on your device:
• On your library screen, tap Downloaded, and then tap the Menu icon located on the issue's
cover when in grid view or on the right side of the screen when in list view. Select Keep
This Issue from the options. You can also view this option by pressing and holding on the
name or cover of the issue.
• From within the issue, tap the Menu icon, and then Keep This Issue.
You can access all of your back issues, regardless of age, on the Manage Your Content and Devices
page, accessible from www.amazon.com/devicesupport.
Managing your Kindle Library
Your Kindle can store books, personal documents, newspapers, blogs and magazines, which are
referred to collectively as "content" throughout this guide.
To view your content, tap My Library on the Home screen. By default, all of your content in the Cloud
and on your device displays. Items that have been downloaded to your Kindle display a tick in the
lower left corner of the cover image when in grid view and on the right side of the screen when in
list view. To view just the content downloaded to your Kindle, tap Downloaded in the top left of the
screen.
You can view content on your library screen using the default grid view, which displays the periodical
or book cover, or by list view. To change the appearance, tap All Items or the currently selected
filter, then select List or Grid View.
To view more information about a specific item and access a menu of applicable options, tap the
Menu icon
on the item's cover (or to the right of the item's name if using list view). Menu options
vary, but may include Add to Kindle for Kids Library, Add to Home, Add to Collection, Go To..., Search
This Book, View Bookmarks, Remove from Device, View on Goodreads, Add to Goodreads Shelf and
Share. You can also view these options by pressing and holding on the item's cover (or name if using
list view).
Sorting Content
By default, your content is sorted by Recent, meaning that new items and the content you're
currently reading are at the top. To change the sort option, tap the name of the existing sort order,
