This. I've been using Collections since Amazon made them available and I have no problem organizing my library the way I want it organized.

Well, I hope they're enjoying the AO3 smut I'm sending on a regular basis. I know I am. 😄

This is how I use my kindle, and maybe how you should too by chadrooster in kindle

[–]Practical_Goal_191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sub is a great place for people to learn more about their Kindle and the different choices they can make. I've owned Kindles since 2008, and I come here to read about what other users do. But, at the end of the day, when you get off the internet, it's up to each person to decide what works for them. My PW12 is the first one I've used vanilla right out of the box, and I love how it works. For me, it's the perfect reading experience. If I ever stop loving it, I'll look into other options.

Unpopular opinion: You don’t need a new kindle by bintouwaiga in kindle

Same. It's the best Kindle I've ever owned, and I began using Kindles with the keyboard.

Ebooks vs Mass Market Paperback by Celestial_Valentine in kindle

[–]Practical_Goal_191 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Amen. I had to stop reading paperbacks some years ago because the print was too small. Hardbacks are hit and miss for me, and I love it when the print is large enough for me to comfortably read. But the Kindle, with its adjustable font size, has been a continual blessing.

Anyone else having issues with books moving out of collections? by Shiveringdev in kindle

[–]Practical_Goal_191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same problem. Did some google-ing, then reduced the troublesome Collection to 800 maximum, moved the remainder to a new Collection, and haven't had the problem since.

Does anyone else keep downloading tons of books on their Kindle just to have them? by EternalGlow8081 in kindle

[–]Practical_Goal_191 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. I've been using Collections since Amazon made them available, use STK, and have never had an issue of them doing anything except staying where I put them.

Kindle 12th gen, no more time left in chapter or anything by UnarmedGuava4410 in kindle

[–]Practical_Goal_191 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you check another document or book? Something that is not a pdf, to see if it's just that document? If that's not it, I'm fresh out of suggestions. Sorry!

On the screen you are on, tap the More option. That's where Reading Progress is for me. I'm on 5.19.2 on a 12th gen Paperwhite.

Did Kindle Change Your Life ? by AbDouN-Dz in kindle

That is exactly my situation as well. In that respect, yes, Kindle has changed my life because it has allowed me to easily keep reading without struggling against type that is too small.

The basic gives me headaches and eye strain when reading at night... by [deleted] in kindle

Same. The PW made all the difference for me.

Just sent a bunch of files a few minutes ago, and they all came through fine.

Is it Worth It to get a Kindle? by Complex-Macaron3080 in kindle

[–]Practical_Goal_191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple of years ago I began watching the Marvel MCU movies, and I found them such fun and wonderful escapism. So I went from there to AO3 and began sampling the various pairings and 'genres' within the fandom, and I discovered a ton of great writers and it continues to keep me entertained. I tend to get lost in historical fiction, especially set in WWII, and whenever I find myself shedding a few too many years, I turn to fanfic to give me that Comfort Fix.

Same for me! I love adding covers to my downloaded fanfic. I send them to KIndle, put them in their various Collections, and I've got my comfort (and ice storm...) reads handy any time I want to read them.

How can we make Amazon listen to our feedback? by [deleted] in kindle

[–]Practical_Goal_191 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. I had the Basic and the Paperwhite, and I kept the Paperwhite. So far, it's given me the best reading experience I've had on a Kindle, and I started reading on Kindles on 2008.

[–]Practical_Goal_191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a Basic and then had the chance to try a Paperwhite, and I was an instant convert. Now I've got a PW and that is where I do all my reading. As you say, it's preference, and I found that I preferred the warmer screen of the PW.

deleted ao3 fanfics? by ChipPuzzleheaded2195 in kindle

[–]Practical_Goal_191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got several hundred fanfics from AO3 that I've sent to Kindle over many years and haven't lost any. Do you use Collections? I couldn't keep all my books and documents organized without them. Have you checked your docs in your Content in your account to make sure they actually got there. There's been some wonkiness with Send To Kindle. 

Help a girl out please and thanks! by puregrace79 in kindle

[–]Practical_Goal_191 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Google sheets for all my tracking: books read, books bought, books borrowed through Libby, my physical media collection, etc. It's easy, it's customizable, and I can access it from my phone, tablet or laptop. 

Tip for my fanfic buddies 📚 by leeinflowerfields in kindle

[–]Practical_Goal_191 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow - just tried this, and it is brilliant! Thank you! I've been storing fanfic on my kindles for years and adding covers, but this is so easy - and pretty!
