Manage Your Kindle Changed

Carmelreader · 01-15-2014, 09:29 PM

I just went on Amazon to Manage Your Kindle and it is totally different! Covers greeted me rather than a list. It looks at a first glance as if you can select multiple books for an action like remove etc. Anyone else seen this and done some investigating?

I am not seeing this.

Do you have a screenshot of what it now looks like? Maybe they are rolling it out to different locations?

This would really be great! The MYK page has been in need of change for a really long time.

I do see that in addition to adding a category for loans, dictionaries/user guides are no longer listed in Books, and got a category by themselves. Still listed in All Books, though.

And you can't delete them anymore.

I think I like it!

One can select as many books as one wants and then take one action for all the selections. That part is new.

Also, each book that can be loaned has a column devoted to that option. One does not have to go to the book page.

I think you might be able to in list view. Going to try. Well, I was able to delete one of the Chinese dictionary or guides, haven't a clue which, but wasn't able to delete some others. Odd.

The entire Amazon site is redesigned. Apps are displayed differently and each type of store is now displayed differently. It will take awhile to master it.

Remember, this if for the US site.

I still don't see this.

I assume changes are being rolled out in different areas and I didn't luck out where I am? Maybe tomorrow morning.

Still, this looks very cool.

I still see this: note the last item "deletion of this item category is not supported from MYK".

Josieb1 · 01-16-2014, 12:14 AM

Still the old view in the UK.

Yapyap · 01-16-2014, 02:25 AM

Old view for me on Amazon.com as well (regardless of my country setting, which is currently US).

I expect it'll be rolled out in batches. Some kind of change for Manage Your Kindle was sorely needed - at least for anyone with more than a hundred books - so I'm looking forward to seeing this in action.

Hm. Mine hasn't updated yet.

I do not mind this as long as they are no longer included in the books section, too bad they are not removed from All Books. Can you still delete them from All Books??

nynaevelan · 01-16-2014, 05:17 AM

I like the feature where you can Archive your Apps, which removes them from the Cloud view on Devices. Is this something new or have I never noticed it??
