What is Kindle Collection? Kindle Collections are a classification of the folders on the kindle device which help you organize kindle contents. If you have lots of eBooks on your Kindle library, you should create collections to manage your ebooks in good order. In this article I will introduce 6 methods to help manage kindle collections.
Send to Kindle for Mac. Step 2 Open the Send to Kindle App and log in with your Amazon account. Step 3 Select one or multiple documents, control-click and select 'Send to Kindle' or just drag and drop the documents onto the app. Step 4 Enter a Title and Author, choose the device or reading app you'd like to send the books to, and then click.
1. Create and Manage Collections on Amazon Website
In 2017, Amazon has added a new function of creating and managing collections for Kindle books in the Cloud which is very convenient for users. Now you can create and manage your kindle books at 'Manage Your Content and Devices'.
Step 1 Create New Collection.
Go to your Amazon account and choose 'Manage Your Content and Devices'. Then click ' Your Content', and choose 'Collections' at the dropdown list. Then you will see ' Create new collection' button and just click it. A new window will pop up. You just have to enter the name of this collection. Now a new collection has been created so easily.
Step 2 Add your books to the newly created collection.
Click on the button before the book title and choose ' Add to collections'. Then a dialog box will pop up which allows you to select already existed collections or create new collection. You can even select more than one collection to add this book.
When all these have been done, you just need to open your kindle device and choose ' Sync and Check for Items' at the menu. Then all created collections will be shown in the Cloud library.
Note: Amazon only allows you to manage the books that you have already purchased from Amazon store.
Q: If I delete the collection, will the books added to this collection be deleted?
A: The books in collections will not be deleted at the same time.
2. Create and Manage Collections on Kindle Manually
Step 1 Create New Collection.
For Kindle Paperwhite users, go forward to the Home screen and select 'Create New Collection' on the menu. Create and name your collection by date, author name, subject and so on. Here are a few of my collections as follows: New to read, Currently reading, Samples, Non-fiction, Horror, Historical, Sci-Fi& Fantasy, Reference.
Step 2 Put your books in the collection.
Press and hold the cover of ebook. Select 'Add to Collection' from the poppingd-up box. Then check the box next to the new collection where you want the book to appear. At last, press Done at the bottom of the screen.
To navigate to a collection, you can add more items or remove from the menu.
Note: If you have 500 books in your Kindle, it's a huge workload to organize these books in order one by one. And this method is also only applied to purchased books from Amazon Store.
Q: Why do my books appear in 'Documents from My items' and not in 'Books from My items'?
A: Docs are the ones that you send to your Kindle device by email, but not purchased directly from Amazon.
3. Using Kindle for PC/Mac appHow To Add Book To Kindle From Mac
This method will take Kindle for PC as an example. If you are using Kindle for Mac and encounter any operating problems, please leave your reply in the comment.
Compared with the method 2, using the desktop kindle app is easier to set up and manage kindle collections.
Step 1 Create Collections on Kindle for PC/Mac desktop App.
Make sure that you have logged in Kindle for PC with your Amazon account. Right-click the cover of the book and select 'Add/Remove from Collection' from the drop down list. Click 'New Collection' and name the title of the collection. And you can also move the book to collections which you have already created.

Switch to Cloud View, open the menu and select 'Import Collections'. Then select 'OK' on the pop-up screen.

The method 2 and 3 above can only be applied to Kindle paperwhite and Kindle Touch. If you have an older Kindle device, please refer to the method 4 and the method 5.
Q: How to transfer Kindle collections from Kindle for PC to iPad Kindle app?
A: It's easier for us to make and manage my collections on pc. According to Amazon Cusomer Service, it doesn't support sending collections from computer to iPad. Maybe Kindle Cloud Collections can help you manage kindle books on iPad (iOS app).
