you have enabled Personal Document Archiving. Note that files transferred to your Kindle using the

USB cable will be permanently deleted when you remove them, because they are not stored in the

Cloud.

Periodicals

Newspapers and magazines are stored in folders by periodical name. When you open the folder,

you can select All to view all of the periodicals you have stored in the Cloud or Downloaded to

view just the issues downloaded to your Kindle. Issues that are more than eight issues old will be

deleted from your device automatically to free up space for new content. Newspapers that are more

than 14 issues old and magazines that are more than 40 issues old will be deleted from the Cloud

automatically. "Expiring" next to an issue indicates that it will be deleted soon. Press and hold a

periodical folder to view the following options: Download Latest Issue and Remove All Back Issues.

You can view more options when you tap the Menu icon located on the periodical's cover when in

grid view or on the right side of the screen when in list view. Options include Add to Home, Add

to Collection, Go To First Page, Go To Sections & Articles, Search This Issue, Keep This Issue, View

Notes & Marks, View Back Issues and Delete This Issue. You can also view these options by pressing

and holding on the name or cover of the issue.

There are two ways to keep a copy of an issue on your device:

• On your library screen, tap Downloaded, and then tap the Menu icon located on the issue's

cover when in grid view or on the right side of the screen when in list view. Select Keep

This Issue from the options. You can also view this option by pressing and holding on the

name or cover of the issue.

• From within the issue, tap the Menu icon, and then Keep This Issue.

You can access all of your back issues, regardless of age, on the Manage Your Content and Devices

page, accessible from

www.amazon.com/devicesupport

.

Managing your Kindle Library

Your Kindle can store books, personal documents, newspapers, blogs and magazines, which are

referred to collectively as "content" throughout this guide.

To view your content, tap My Library on the Home screen. By default, all of your content in the Cloud

and on your device displays. Items that have been downloaded to your Kindle display a tick in the

lower left corner of the cover image when in grid view and on the right side of the screen when in

list view. To view just the content downloaded to your Kindle, tap Downloaded in the top left of the

screen.

You can view content on your library screen using the default grid view, which displays the periodical

or book cover, or by list view. To change the appearance, tap All Items or the currently selected

filter, then select List or Grid View.

To view more information about a specific item and access a menu of applicable options, tap the
Menu icon

on the item’s cover (or to the right of the item's name if using list view). Menu options

vary, but may include Add to Kindle for Kids Library, Add to Home, Add to Collection, Go To…, Search

This Book, View Bookmarks, Remove from Device, View on Goodreads, Add to Goodreads Shelf and

Share. You can also view these options by pressing and holding on the item's cover (or name if using

list view).

Sorting Content

By default, your content is sorted by Recent, meaning that new items and the content you're

currently reading are at the top. To change the sort option, tap the name of the existing sort order,

located under the toolbar on the right side of the screen. Options include Recent, Title, Author and

Collection.
