To navigate to a collection, you can add more items or remove from the menu.

Q: Why do my books appear in 'Documents from My items' and not in 'Books from My items'?A: Docs are the ones that you send to your Kindle device by email, but not purchased directly from Amazon.
3. Using Kindle for PC/Mac app
This method will take Kindle for PC as an example. If you are using Kindle for Mac and encounter any operating problems, please leave your reply in the comment.
Compared with the method 2, using the desktop kindle app is easier to set up and manage kindle collections.

Make sure that you have logged in Kindle for PC with your Amazon account. Right-click the cover of the book and select 'Add/Remove from Collection' from the drop down list.

Wait for a moment, then all the books will appear in the corresponding collections in order. Congratulations!

Q: How to transfer Kindle collections from Kindle for PC to iPad Kindle app?A: It's easier for us to make and manage my collections on pc.
