Quick way to select all files in a screen?

terencek · 04-25-2012, 05:45 AM

I seem to recall reading somewhere that there's a shortcut for selecting all the files shown on a K3 screen at once (e.g. to move them to a collection). Anyone know? Thanks!

I don't know if this is the method you're thinking of, but this works on a Kindle Keyboard and I suppose it can be done on the other models too. You create a collection (Menu|Create New Collection) and open it. If it's an empty collection, there's an option there to add books to it ("click to add items to this collection"); otherwise, with the collection open, press Menu and then Add/Remove Items. You can then check off each book you want to add to the collection and press Done.

When you're adding books to a collection, there's an "add all the books on the page" option at the top of the screen. Not sure that that's what the OP is talking about, though.

Thanks, Harry! I've never needed to add an entire screen of books to a collection, so I hadn't noticed that option. I do see it now. After you've opened the collection and selected "click to add items to this collection," then press the Menu button. There is an option there that says "add all items on this page."
