Take an hour or so to read the manual of the Kindle on Amazon.com, as Grandma advised, and play around. Put some free books from Mobile Read (see ' Sticky" at the top of the page) and try different things out. If the Kindle bricks, you can easy reboot it by holding the on-button till the green light flickers or somewhat longer (>20 sec if that doesn't help). It doesn't break that easy.

As for collections; search on the forum, there's been plenty said about it. For me its works fine. I start every collection with an underscore, space, capital (A,B,C etc), point, space, and then the name g.e - A. Novel A-H -A. Novel I-Z and then on to g.e.
- B. Crime A-H. and so on. At the top you can choose for show by most recent first, author, title, collection. When you select ' title' , the Kindle shows first al the collections, sorted how you want them to appear (by putting a symbol like underscore in front) and all the books. The books are always both in one or more collections and on your home page.

I've had an ereader before, so I know how user-friendly this Kindle-one is and also how friendly Amazon is towards customers.
Do give it a fair try, I would say and if you have questions after reading the manual; people on the forum will help you. Good luck.
