located under the toolbar on the right side of the screen. Options include Recent, Title, Author and
Collection.
Filtering Content
To filter your content by type, on your library screen tap All Items or the currently selected filter,
located under the toolbar. Filtering options include:
• All Items
• Books
• Periodicals
• Docs
• Collections
If you have set up an Amazon household and enabled sharing, two new filtering options will appear
under Books:
• My Books
• Shared Books
To view just your books, tap the My Books filter option. To view just the books that the other adult
in your household has shared, select the Shared Books filter option.
You can also filter items that you have stored in the Cloud. To view your Cloud content, tap All in
the top left of the screen.
Navigating Your Library
To navigate your library, you can swipe the screen to go to the next or previous page or use the
Page-Turn buttons located next to the screen. You can also tap the page number control located in
the bottom right of the screen. For example, 1/2 indicates you are on page 1 and have 2 pages of
content on your Kindle. When the dialog box displays, enter the page number you want to go to or
the first letter of the title or author (depending upon your current sort option).
Cloud Collections
Cloud Collections let you organise the content on your Kindle Oasis into customised categories that
are stored in the Cloud. Your collections are synced between other devices and reading apps that
are registered to the same Amazon account and that support Cloud Collections. You can add as
many items as you like to each collection, including books and personal documents. Items can also
be added to more than one collection. For information on devices and apps that support Cloud
Collections, go to www.amazon.com/devicesupport.
To create a new collection:
1. On the Home screen, tap My Library in the top left of the screen.
2. On your library page, tap the Menu icon.
3. Select Create New Collection.
4. 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.
5. 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. Tap the Menu icon on the collection's cover when in
grid view or on the right side of the screen when in list view, and then tap Add/Remove Items. You
can also view this option by pressing and holding on the collection's name or cover. Other options
include Rename, Remove from device and Delete. To exit a collection, tap the Home or Back icon.
