It seems you do not have the most recent update. It added page up/down buttons to List/Grid/Collections views. And you can drag the scroll position indicator to the desired position. |

Now, I have the choice to see all 85 of my collections, including the "uncollected" collection. I used to have only a few collections showing on my Kindle. One for the current year, where I put the books as I finish reading them, and maybe one for whatever author and/or series I was interested in at that particular time. I would sort by "recent", and the collections would show at the top of the list, and any books that weren't yet collected would show underneath them. I'm attaching a picture of the library view of my Paperwhite 5, which hasn't gotten the new UI yet. Shari |

What you no longer have is ‘collections sort order’ which showed collections (starred) collections followed by books not in them. This is replaced with the new Collections view which can be filtered to show only collections (favorites or others) which have downloaded members in them. If you clear the Downloaded filter, then you’ll see all of them. Last edited by tomsem; 03-13-2022 at 02:50 PM. |

(And yes, not sure whose idea it was to make Downloaded a filter. It works, but it takes extra tap to turn it on, where before it was a toggle. At least so far, this idea hasn’t migrated to the Kindle apps. Hope it doesn’t!) I sort of understand the idea of using collections to help find books, but I never cared to put in the housekeeping (including ‘collection design’) that would make that effective. I have 3000+ books and realistically the only way to find them is Search: I wouldn’t know which collection I’d put them in, and even if I did know, it’s too inefficient to navigate to the collection and then to a book inside of one. Collections as implemented for Kindle are more like tags rather than folders, despite the way they appear visually in the interface. But as tags they are crippled: you should be able to filter and search your library by more than one tag at a time as it’s perfectly normal for a book to have more than category or property of interest. And as they are not really folders, you cannot nest them as one might like to. Neither fish nor fowl. I think Amazon did pretty well with Series grouping (US and UK only I think?) and think we’ll see Author grouping in the next year or so. Genre grouping is probably too much to hope for, but if we’re allowed to dream, they’d automatically tag books by category and let you use those to search and filter using those (and let you add custom ones). |
