‘Collections‘ is a blessing to readers with a burgeoning Kindle library. But such an organizing technique is useful only if you can also quickly get to your collections and your books. By default, Kindle’s Library page opens to ‘All’ books. But you can set it to always open to your collections. Here are a few ways to do so.
How to make Collections as the default Library page on Kindle
By default, the ‘Library’ page shows all your books. But it will default to whichever ‘view’ option you switch to. So once you’ve switched to the ‘Collections’ view option, Kindle will remember your choice and always open the Library page with your ‘Collections’ (until you change it again). Here’s how you can change the ‘View options’ to Collections:
SHORT GUIDE
Tap on Library, tap on View, and select Collections. Kindle will remember your preference and, unless you change it again, will always open your library page to ‘Collections’.

STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE

- Now, whenever you open your ‘Library’, you will see only your Collection folders.
How to see Collections in your Kindle Library outside of ‘Collections’ View
The library page doesn’t have to open to just your books or just your collections. There are options to view both of them together as well. Here are a couple of ways to do so:
Method 1: Show all collections in Library
Follow the guides below to see your collections appear alongside your book titles when the Library’s ‘View Options’ is set to All.
SHORT GUIDE
Tap on the three-dot icon at the top right corner, select Settings > Device Options > Advanced Options > Home & Library > Collections, and choose Show all in Library.
