Kindle automatically deletes issues that are more than seven issues old to free up

space for new content. An exclamation point

next to an issue indicates that it will be

deleted within 24 hours. To keep an issue, see "More about Managing Items".

Collections

Collection names appear in an italicized font to differentiate them from books and other

items. The number of items in each collection is displayed in parentheses to the right

Blogs

as audio content. Like regular books, they have a progress indicator that shows where

you are in the audiobook.

PDF files

PDF files also look similar to books, but they will be labeled in the Home screen as "pdf".

Whispernet to your Kindle for a fee, whichever you prefer. You can also transfer your

personal documents to your Kindle by attaching your Kindle to your computer. For
