The Kindle Home screen gives you an overall picture of what you currently have on 

your Kindle. It shows you what has arrived recently, what you are reading, and where 

you are in your reading. It also allows you to remove content from your Kindle and to 

move content from Amazon to your Kindle. Read below for more details.

Your Home screen displays a list of all of your Kindle reading materials — books, 

newspapers, magazines, blogs, PDF files, personal documents, as well as audiobooks. 

It serves as a personal bookshelf for all of your reading material, as well as a starting 

point to access other Kindle features. 

To display the Home screen, press the Home button on your Kindle. By default, the 

Home screen lists all of the items that you have on your Kindle beginning with the most 

recently viewed (or acquired) items. Each type of content has a slightly different 

description and label. You can read more about the types of content available in 

Chapter 3.

Books are shown by title and author. Below the book title are a series of dots which give 

you an approximation of how long the book is. Bold dots within the series indicate how 

far along you are in the book based on the last page you viewed.

Periodicals include newspapers and magazines that can be purchased as a single issue 

or as a subscription delivered on a regular basis. Your Home screen lists the most 

recent issue of each periodical you have on your Kindle. Older issues appear inside a 

grouping called Periodicals: Back Issues. Selecting the grouping takes you to a screen 

that displays the back issues of all the periodicals you have on your Kindle. Note that
