It does include a Kindle for PC installation. That includes devices which have been deregistered. Then, if I was connected to wi-fi, it would show me devices which had Collections. Home – Menu – View Archived Items (called “the Cloud” on some devices) – Add Other Device Collections That’s still the way it works on devices without Cloud Collections. When we did that, we copied the classification structure from Kindle A to Kindle B.Īgain, it didn’t move any of the actual content…just the instructions for which lists should have it. We could, however, import Collections from one device to another. I could have a “To Be Read” Collection on my Kindle, and my Significant Other could have a “To Be Read” Collection on theirs, and there was no confusion. Until these updates, we created Collections on a single device, and that Collection only applied to that device. Getting rid of the link does not get rid of the book. The difference is that the Collection has a link that enables you to open the book, but it is really just a link. If you delete the Excel file, you don’t delete the books. You have a list of books you’ve read this year on your computer (maybe in an Excel file). If you think of a file folder with papers in it, and you through out the folder, you would also throw out the papers…that’s how a folder on a PC works. You simply “tag” the files as belonging to a certain classification, and then you can locate the files by looking at that classification.ĭeleting the classification (Collection) does not delete the files which are associated with it. They are not like folders on a PC or a Mac, because they do not actually contain the files.

They’ve notoriously named several things just a “Kindle”, from the 2007 model to the current entry level one (which I call a “Mindle”).Ĭollections are organizational structures for your content. Naming the tablet (Fire) line “Kindles” caused a lot of problems in the beginning, with people wondering why the new “Kindles” were hard to read outside in bright light, or talking about “upgrading” from a Kindle 3 to a Kindle Fire (when they really aren’t the same type of device serving the same purpose).

As to the latter point, I think in some ways it is again an example of Amazon not naming something clearly…I do see that as one of Amazon’s few serious deficits. There has been quite a bit of confusion about it, and some disappointed people. Amazon has recently updated both the current generation of Kindle Fires (the Kindle HDX models and the new Kindle HD, the $139 model) and the Kindle Paperwhite (second generation) to include a feature called Cloud Collections (it may be coming to other models as well.įirst, I’m going to go over what Collections are, and then explain how this works.
