trying to organize kindle, books keep being deleted from collections.

fraustykindle · 01-29-2011, 07:07 PM

I have a kindle 3, and so does my mom. On my kindle, I can select a book push the 5way button to the right and add that book to a collection. Once it is added it vanishes off the main kindle page and is then inside the collection, like I wanted.

My mom does the same thing, book goes into the collection but it also stays on the main page also. If she deletes it off the main page it also vanishes in the collection.

Only difference in the 2 kindles is she got hers at best buy and I got mine 1 month earlier at staples.

Hi and welcome to mobileread

If a book is displayed in a collection AND on the main page it will be so because of how books are sorted which explains why your kindles appear to be acting differently. You can sort by Collections, title or author. You click right up to the top of your Kindle home screen to choose how you sort books.
