If you’re sorting by Title (alpha) on the Home page, then type ONLY the first character ( no more than that or you'll be taken on a long Search instead) of the title you want and you'll see that gray-text, this time saying Type ' 8' on the keypad and you’ll see gray text come up that says to 'click’ (on the 5-way)ĭo that and you'll be on the last page, which has Periodicals and Archived Items
If it's 8 pages, and you’ve chosen " Most Recent First" sorting: Now, you would just look at the number of pages shown at the bottom for your Home listing. The process to get to "Periodicals" (Subscriptions) is sometimes a bit faster now, since cursoring up, up, up is quite slow on the Kindle. When you sort your Home page listing by "Most Recent First," the "Periodicals" folder (a pre-set 'Collection’) is always on the last page, as is the "Archived Items" folder, which holds the titles of books at Amazon you own which are not on your Kindle currently but can be re-downloaded at any time. Here's what can be done for similar filtering of views.

It includes a step-by-step walkthrough for downloading the software and starting Collections.) (See the Intro and Guide to v2.5.x Features for one quick way to get the update for your Kindle model if you don't want to wait for the slowly distributed wireless delivery to a few million, globally. While at TeleReadtoday, I wrote a reply to a commenter's question, which is one that is asked often on the Amazon Kindle forums since the slow arrival of the new Kindle software update, which allows user-customizable categories and folder-like organizers named "Collections." SOFTWARE VERSION V2.5.x CHANGES IN HANDLING OF "SHOW ONLY" categories I'm a fan of the TeleRead website - News & views on e-books, libraries, publishing and related topics - and recommend dropping by the site if you haven't, for a treat.
