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.
