Cloud Collections

Cloud Collections enable you to organize the content on your Kindle into customized
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:

On the Home screen, tap the Menu button.

Select Create New Collection.

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 displays.

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
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 All Items or the currently selected
filter, and select Collections.
Collections downloaded to the device appear in your All Items, Books, Periodicals, and Docs
views. To download a collection, just press and hold on a collection cover or collection title
and tap Add to Device. Note that this setting is device-specific and will not be saved when you
deregister your Kindle. To remove a collection from your device, press and hold on a
collection cover or collection title, and then tap Remove from Device.
Cloud Collections tips:
1. Deleting a collection that was created on a device or in a reading app that supports Cloud
Collections, such as your Kindle, will delete it from the Cloud and other devices or reading
apps that support Cloud Collections and are registered to the same Amazon account.
2. Deleting a collection from your Kindle does not remove the content stored on your device or
in the Cloud. Items previously placed into the collection that are stored on your Kindle will
appear on the Home screen and in the Cloud after the collection is deleted.
