Creating book collections on Kindle helps you easily organize your library and find titles. But in a reader’s mind, not all collections are created equal. Some collections are more frequently accessed than others. This is where favoriting a collection comes in and allows for better organization, so you see only certain collections in your library by default. Here are a few ways to set a Kindle collection as a favorite (or remove it).

Marking a collection as a favorite lets you see them in your library outside of the ‘Collections’ view. This helps to organize your library so you can see your favorite collections alongside all the books in your library (and without having to choose ‘Collections’ view separately).
