Porting Collections from old Fire to new Fire

OllieQueen · 10-07-2023, 08:47 PM

Hi all,

I searched the forums but didn't see the answer (though I could've been searching improperly with the wrong search terms). My wife's Fire is losing battery power quickly and we were able to get a newer Fire from a family member who no longer uses it.

My question is this: I created a bunch of collections for my wife on her old Fire made up of books, most of which were side-loaded. Is there any way to transfer all those collections to her new Fire without having to recreate them all manually like I did initially?

The collections you created should still exist (check the Amazon account's Manage Your Content and Devices page).

However any side loaded content will need to be added to the collections manually as before.

Is there some reason you don't want to use Send To Kindle to add third party content?
