EDITION
If Tom’s Kindle included “Marley & Me” in the “Summer Reading” collection, and
“Marley & Me” was already on Judy’s Kindle when collections from Tom’s Kindle
were added, “Marley & Me” will automatically appear in “Summer Reading”. If
Tom’s Kindle included “The Lost Symbol” in the “Summer Reading” collection, and
if you download “The Lost Symbol” from Archived Items onto Judy’s Kindle, it will
automatically appear in Home.
Note that if you later decide to remove “Marley & Me” from the “Summer Reading”
collection on Tom’s Kindle, your changes are not synchronized with Judy’s Kindle.
“Marley & Me” will remain in the “Summer Reading” collection on Judy’s Kindle.
To merge collections, follow these steps:
1. Manually transfer any books from Archived Items to your current Kindle. See
Transferring Books in Chapter 10 for more information.
2. On your current Kindle, if you are not already on the Home screen, press the Home
button.
3. Use the 5-way to select Archived Items. If you have many items you may need to
use the Next Page button to locate Archived Items.
4. When in Archived Items use the 5-way to select the item labeled Add Other Device
Collections.
5. In the Add Other Device Collections view you will see a list of all Kindles that are
associated with your Amazon account. Use the 5-way to select the other Kindle
that has the collections you want to add. You can repeat this step for as many
devices as you wish to add collections from.
6. After the collections are merged, press the Home button to return to the Home
screen. You will see the collections that were copied over and merged together
with the collections already on your current Kindle.
