They are collections I put in favorites from the kindle app. Or well, build in app. I'll just leave them.
I still can't find the previous now empty folders. They still show when adding stuff but they call them collections?
Still confused a bit.
eat: Let me see if I can explain this a bit better. I have created today 3 folders/collection. Library, Tools and Reading. But when I long press something on the home page to add it to a folder/collection, it lists available Library, Tools and the 2 invisible ones Apps1 and books. It does not list the Reading folder as an option to add anything. And I cannot find a way to delete the apps1 and the books folder anywhere. There are apps in each. So the Scribd app is in there in both. But I don't currently have the Scribd app in folder on the home page. Its just there.
I don't know how to explain this so its not so confusing. But the folders I created the other day, I can't see them, I cant delete them, but they show up every time I long press something to add as an option. Yet one of the visible folders "reading" does not show up as an option to add something.
I a getting more and more confused by the minute. |
You've got me intrigued, so I started playing with my folders/collections. I understand where you're coming from. What a mess I ran into.
When I attempted to add an app from the carousel to a folder/collection, I discovered I have triplicate folders - 3 Radio, 3 Tools, 3 Books, 3 Games, etc. Amazon is remembering prior folders. I only have two devices capable of doing folders - Fire Phone and HD6. So maybe folders are crossing over. I remember doing a factory reset on my HD6 after setting up my folders. So between these options, that would account for 3 sets of folders. If that's the case, it's stupid. Just like calling folders, collections is stupid. Sometimes, Amazon does stupid things.
So far, I haven't found a way to delete the duplicate folders.
Not sure why the Reading folder isn't showing up.
Try this - create new folders. Disregard all previous folders. Amazon will allow you to put the same app in multiple folders. Then when you want to add apps from the carousel to a folder, send them to favorites. From there, you can push them into the appropriate folder. That's what I do. I found it easier to do it that way. But now, with these multiple folders I have, it's the only sane way to do it.
