Acquiring & Managing Kindle Content

You can view more options when you press and hold on a single issue. Options include Go To

View Back Issues, and Delete This Issue.

There are two ways to keep a copy of an issue on your device:

 On the Home screen, tap On Device and then press and hold on the name or cover of the issue

you wish to keep. Select Keep This Issue from the options.

 From within the issue, tap the Menu button and select Keep This Issue.

You can access all of your back issues, regardless of age, on the Manage Your Content and

Devices page, accessible from http://www.amazon.com/devicesupport.

Managing your Kindle Library

Your Kindle Paperwhite can store thousands of books, personal documents, newspapers,

blogs, and magazines, which are referred to collectively as "content" throughout this guide.

To display a list of content on your Kindle Paperwhite, tap the Home button, then the On

Device option.

To view how much free space your Kindle has available for storing content:

1. Tap the Menu button and select Settings.

2. On the Settings page, tap the Menu button, then Device Info.

You can view content on the Home screen using the default cover view or by the traditional

list view. To change the appearance of the Home screen, tap the Menu button and select List

or Cover View.

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, on the Home screen tap the name

of the existing sort order, located under the toolbar. You can also sort items that you have

stored in the Cloud.

To filter your content by type, on the Home screen tap All Items, located under the toolbar.

Filtering options include:

 All Items

 Books

 Periodicals

 Docs

 Collections

If you have set up a household and enabled sharing, two new filtering options will appear

under Books:

 My Books

 Shared Books

To view just your books, select 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 jump to a specific title or page, go to the Home screen and tap the page number control.

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).
