Night Elf Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Or any ereader really. How do you organize your books on your device? Right now, I've just got pages of books in alphabetical order. I am thinking of creating collections per genre, like mystery, fiction, etc. I just wondered if I'm thinking too organized. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuzu822 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I do sort my books. Right now I have a general fiction collection, but I also have folders for certain authors or series. I have a few non-fiction folders sorted by general subject. I don't have that many book on my Kindle, but as/if I add more I might get more specific.

Dana Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I've got one folder for library books, one for "current reads", one for books I've downloaded for my son to read, and then some by genre if I want it on the kindle rather than archived and I've read it. Also one for homeschool resources :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pageta Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I go by genre in categories that make sense to me. I have obvious categories like Literature (adult), children's literature, contemporary (recent releases, mostly non-fiction), and poetry. Then I have not-so-obvious categories like Plutarch (a number of resources I have for Plutarch) and then others such as my children's books for each year of school or just a category. I also have a category of books I think my husband would like - the category is simply his name. But all of my books are sorted onto one or more shelves. And within their categories, I keep them in order by author because I like to remember who went to all the trouble of writing them (and I once worked in a library and that's how libraries are organized within categories).

K&Rs Mom Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 On Kindle you can make a "collection" like a folder. I do most of mine by subject - one called Kids so they know where their stuff is, one for school-type stuff, one for home stuff, one for misc fiction. If you have a Kindle reader on computer or phone or whatever, you can sync your collections too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumto2 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I had mine organized like that and really liked it. I had to go back to factory settings and lost my sorting but not my books.:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie in Austin Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 "Nightstand" collection for books that I am currently reading. "Bookstore" for samples. "Shelf" for books I own but haven't read. If I have finished it, it goes to the archive. "School" for things I am reading to the kids for school. "Hebrew/Greek" for language study. "Church bag" for scriptures and similar. "Misc" for, you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butter Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I have them in there by recent first. I had categories on my Sony and I honestly didn't like it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

black_midori Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I would do all my organizing on Calibre (free program) on the computer - but I haven't had to organize yet because I don't have that many books! lol On the Kindle itself, I just put on the book that I am reading now, it goes to the top, and I am good.
