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 view your content, tap My Library on the Home screen. By default all of your content in the
Cloud and on your device displays. Items that have been downloaded to your Kindle display a
check mark in the lower left corner of the cover image when in grid view and on the right side
of the screen when in list view. To view just the content downloaded to your Kindle, tap
Downloaded in the top left of the screen.
You can view content on your library screen using the default grid view, which displays the
periodical or book cover, or by list view. To change the appearance, tap All Items or the
currently selected filter, then select List or Grid View.
To view more information about a specific item and access a menu of applicable options, tap
the Menu icon on the item's cover (or to the right of the item's name if using list view).
Menu options vary, but may include Add to FreeTime Library (Add to Kindle for Kids Library
in the UK), Add to Collection, Go To..., Search This Book, View Bookmarks, Remove from
Device, View on Goodreads, and Add to Goodreads Shelf. You can also view these options by
pressing and holding on the item's cover (or name if using list view).

Sorting Content

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, tap the name of the existing sort
order, located under the toolbar on the right side of the screen. Options include Recent, Title,
Author, and Collection.
