Adding Collections from Another Kindle
If you have more than one Kindle registered to your Amazon account, you can add the
collections from another Kindle and merge them with collections on your current Kindle. This is use-
ful if you’ve set up an organization system on another Kindle and you want use it on your current
Kindle. The new collections will appear in Home on your current Kindle. Kindle books from the other
device can be manually downloaded from Archived Items and they will appear in Home.
For example, suppose you have two devices named Tom’s Kindle and Judy’s Kindle. If Tom’s Kindle
already includes some collections, you can copy those collections and merge them with the collec-
tions on Judy’s Kindle. After you copy the collections from Tom’s Kindle to Judy’s Kindle, then both
devices will have the same collections.
