I didn't see a "Kindle tips" sticky, so I thought I'd share a tip recently passed on to me.
I recently switched from a PRS-505 to a current-gen Kindle and complained to someone about the lack of the "Continue Reading" as the permanent first option on the home screen without switching out of collections (author or title view).
He said, "Just make a
Now reading ... collection and add the 1, 2, 3 or however many books you want to it."
Boom! Problem solved. True, I have to drill down once to see the list, but because I always have a few books in progress, this actually works better. And the little progress dots below each title make this an even more useful reference.
You don't have to add the ellipsis.
