Kindle app – What categories do you use keep your books organized?
I like how Kindle organizes my read books by the method of choice. I like by author’s last name. Before I got my Kindle, I didn’t keep a list and started more than one book only to realize I’d already bought and read it before. How annoying!
I have no idea how my kindle can organize my books. Where do I start? Google it?
@Michelle if you click on the 3 dots either on the book image or next to it, a list of actions should pop up. One is “Add to Collection”.
You can do categories?! That’s a game changer.
I have a bunch of categories, mainly by genre, but the best one by far is my “To Read” category. When I’m looking for something new to read, I usually start in there.
I have several different folders such as Children’s, Fiction, Nonfiction, Nordic, whatever you want. Then you can organize within the folder. At first I had them organized by order I read them but recently changed to author’s last name.
I have a folder Unfinished for books I put aside.
I don’t know for sure if you can get it on Kindle or not but I use Goodreads and it keeps track of what I have read and what I want to read.
On another post someone said they can link up and Goodreads will move it to Read after you are done
I have 3 titled collections: book samples, free books, finished books. Books I paid for are on the main page.
I’ve never been successful using Goodreads.
I’ve never messed with it much, just rated a few books.
I use Goodreads. I have a kindle shelf that I tag when I get the book. That way I can add it to as many shelves (categories) as I want. I’ve even created a shelf for The Great American Read.

Organized? Wtf?
Yeah, good point ?
Say what? I had no idea. I’ve been slogging through an alphabetized list for years. Thanks for the tip!
I get a little anal about it ?
I have a mash up scheme . I have categories for genre but there are a few authors that get their own category. Then I also have a category for all the Amazon First Reads books I get. I also use Goodreads because that allows me to keep track of my Ebooks, physical books and those I get from the library and read.
Guess it’s time for me to investigate Goodreads more thouroghly.
Biography by subject’s last name. Fiction by author’s last name. Non-fiction by category and author’s last name—religion, history, science, etc.
Similar to what I do. My fiction is in 3 categories – classics, misc and series. Other categories include Philosophy, science, self-help, Buddhism/meditation, cookbooks…
Read and not read…?
Truth!
I have read and to read on my kindle and I just added a separate folder for books in great American read.
I also like Goodreads every January they post a reading challenge and you can set a goal and it lists all the books you read for the year at the end you can see if you met your goal. Last year they provided a nice synopsis of all the books you read from
that year such as the longest book.
I used to have to put what I read manually in goodreads but now my kindle is synced to my goodreads account and it automatic
Goodreads also will post sessions and interviews with authors
Wow – I’m impressed. My Kindle is a mess. No organization at all!
sure it is….ABC by author or title or most recent ?
LOL – that’s about it. No effort on my part!
I’m just nerdy ?
Fiction, nonfiction, writing, French, cookbooks, anthology, already-read fiction, already-read non-fiction
I love Goodreads. It’s so rewarding to look back at what I read and when.
Wow! This is all so impressive! I am technologically challenged so organizing my Kindle is not on my must-do list! Maybe some day…
I don’t.
Exactly my response!
I don’t have them organized on my kindle
There’s a way to organize? ?
That was my thought too
Say what
By author….
Organization? ????
Sometimes genre, romance, fiction, others are as separate series, Tea Series, other as authors, Jodi Picoult. Business. Classics.
I leave all to read books outside of collection, just in main list. After I read I put them in a collection.
I didn’t know you could organize them! lol
If it goes beyond the major categories, I ain’t got the time!
1. Read
2. Currently reading
3. Want to read
4. I gave up
