If Tom's Kindle included "Marley & Me" in the "Summer Reading" collection, and

"Marley & Me" was already on Judy's Kindle when collections from Tom's Kindle were

added, "Marley & Me" will automatically appear in "Summer Reading". If Tom's Kindle

included "The Lost Symbol" in the "Summer Reading" collection, and if you download

"The Lost Symbol" from Archived Items onto Judy's Kindle, it will automatically appear

in Home.

Note that if you later decide to remove "Marley & Me" from the "Summer Reading"

collection on Tom's Kindle, your changes are not synchronized with Judy's Kindle.

"Marley & Me" will remain in the "Summer Reading" collection on Judy's Kindle.

To merge collections, follow these steps:

1.

Manually transfer any books from Archived Items to your current Kindle. See

"Transferring Books" in Chapter 10 for more information.

2.

On your current Kindle, if you are not already on the Home screen, press the Home

button.

3.

Make sure that wireless is turned on. To turn wireless on, press the Menu button

and select “Turn Wireless On”.

4.

Navigate to Archived Items. If you have many items you may find it easier to press

the Menu button and select “View Archived Items”. (This menu item is dimmed

unless you have at least one item in Archived Items.)

5.

When in Archived Items use the 5-way to select the item labeled Add Other Device

Collections.

6.

In the Add Other Device Collections view you will see a list of all Kindles that are

associated with your Amazon account. Use the 5-way to select the other Kindle

that has the collections you want to add. You can repeat this step for as many

devices as you wish to add collections from.

7.

After the collections are merged, press the Home button to return to the Home

screen. You will see the collections that were copied over and merged together

with the collections already on your current Kindle.
