Cloud Collections enable you to organize the content on your Kindle Oasis into customized

categories that are stored in the Cloud. Your collections are synced between other devices

and reading apps that are registered to the same Amazon account and that support Cloud

Collections. You can add as many items as you like to each collection, including books, and

personal documents. Items can also be added to more than one collection. For information on

devices and apps that support Cloud Collections, go to www.amazon.com/devicesupport.
