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. 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).
