One more thing: You can quickly build a library with a considerable
number of books. So, how do you locate particular books? First, you can
opt to arrange books by author, title, or most recently received. Or, you
can opt to create collections (as I have done) and place books into
general categories--for example, reference, classics, fiction (or break it
down further into mysteries, etc.). Within those collections, they will
be organized by author, title, or most recently received. You can also
archive books or even delete books from the device, but those books will
always be available for future download from your Kindle settings on
amazon.com. Some books can be loaned to other people for 14 days, but
that depends on the publisher. I have found that most of the books I
would like to lend to others are not yet enabled for sharing. I always
download books directly to my Kindle, but they can also be downloaded to
your computer and then later transferred to your Kindle.

Thank you, Mary. I hadn't though about organizing the books, but you're
right. If I downloaded a number of them I'd definitely want to organize
them, so it's good to know there are so many options for doing so.
