I have about 800 books on my Kindle 3. I've tried organising them in a few different ways but my current system has them in Collections by author (if there are 3 or more by that author - if less I just sort these by Fiction & Non-Fiction). I number each Collection ... 101 Asimov, Isaac. I then sort by Title which puts all of my Collections at the front then each individual book behind.
I also include the sequence # of a series in the Book Title - The Neon Rain (1); Heaven's Prisoners (2).
I sort this way because I generally know the type of book each author writes & can very easily find any book.
I also have a Collection called Currently Reading & one called Read. I never use them! I started setting up a list of books to be read in order then I'll start on Book 1 of a series & then, of course, have to read at least the next couple. So planning a To Read list is a waste of time.
I used Kindle Collection Manager to sort the Kindle. The first time I used it I cursed the writer & all his family. Needless to say it was me doing something wrong. It is brilliant!! The 2nd best thing since sliced bread ...
A word of warning - after doing it all Restart the Kindle. Don't just turn it off & on. Go to Home, Menu, Settings, Menu & hit Restart & then Wait! It takes a few minutes to finish. Eventually all your new Collections will appear but with a (0) after them. Wait a little while longer & they will fill up. All in all it takes 5 minutes or less.
Long winded - but that's me.
Hope this helped a little. But in the end just read the books. The Kindle is the greatest thing since Fire. I'm sure Amazon read my mind & developed it just for me.
Outstanding job! 1 or maybe even 2 Gold Stars
Kind regards
