Improved indexing in new Kindles?

Mark Rehorst · 09-30-2011, 03:47 AM

I see they've added a bookshelf type cover display page (or is that just on the Fire?). Have they improved the indexing capability? Specifically can books be organized into subcollections, such as having a folder for a specific author, then folders within that author folder for different book series? Or are they doing something that renders such a system meaningless?

To be more specific, if I have 1000+ books loaded, am I going to have to flip through 50+ pages of TOC to find a specific book?

Thanks!

The "book cover" images you've seen are probably those of the bookstore. I believe that the home page still displays a textual list of titles, just like the current K3 does.

Home page and collections have stayed pretty much the same. There is a detailed review on my blog if you are interested.
