What follows is from the manual on how to use this feature with some comments
of mine along the way. 1. If you are not already on the Home screen, press the Home button.2. Press the Menu button and use the 5-way to select “Create New Collection.”
3. Use the keyboard to enter the name of your collection. Press the Symbolkey to enter symbols and numbers. There's no tts when you type in the name of your collection. I took my time typing in the names of my collections and had
no problems. 4. Use the 5-way to select “save.” I used down arrow to find the save option. 5. Your collection is created and displayed on the Home screen. The very first time that you create a collection, the sort order changes to sort by collections on the Home screen. To change the sort order, move the5-way up to underline“By Collections”, and then move the 5-way to the right to
choose another sort option. Adding an Item to a CollectionCollections give you the flexibility to add an item to as many collections as needed. For example, you can add the same book to collections called “History” and “My Favorite Authors.”
To add an item to one or more collections, follow these steps: 1. If you are not already on the Home screen, press the Home button. 2. Use the 5-way to navigate to the item you want to add to a collection. 3. Move the 5-way to the right to view the item’s detail page. 4. On the item’s detail page, use the 5-way to select “Add to Collection…” 5. A screen showing all of your collections and the number of items in eachis displayed. Use the 5-way to select each collection you want to add the item to. If you have many collections
you can use the Next Page and Previous Page buttons to see them all. I used down arrow to find the collection I wanted to add to. 6. After you add the item to a collection the item count for the collection is increased and a checkmark appears to the right of the collection. You can also remove the item from a collection by using the 5-way to select the collection again and the checkmark will disappear. 7. When you are done adding the item to your collections, use the 5-way toselect “Done” at the bottom of the screen. You can also press the Home or Back
buttons and your changes will be saved. I used the Home button to save my Changes. Adding Multiple Items to a CollectionCollections also let you efficiently add multiple items to a single collection. This is useful for organizing similar types of items into one collection in a single pass.
To add multiple items to a collection, follow these steps: 1. If you are not already on the Home screen, press the Home button. 2. Use the 5-way to navigate to the collection you want to add items to. 3. There are two ways to start the process: Move the 5-way to the right to view the collection’s detail page.
