This afternoon, I made my list for April‘s #readyourkindle. I‘m using the same list from March. The only difference is that the 2nd, 3rd and 4th books on my list will be mood reads since I read the trilogy that was on my list in March.

From this month‘s #readyourkindle list, I only read the 3 books that I highlighted. The three highlighted books will be Mood Read prompts next month and I‘ll be carrying over everything else. I‘m not going to have time to read anything else on this list since I finished one of the trilogies I have on this list.

Today, I‘m sharing my 4 picks for #readyourkindle. #16 is the second book in a trilogy. #2 is the first book in a trilogy. #6 is the second book in a trilogy and #12 is a standalone book. It‘s a forbidden romance between a professor and a student. I‘ll probably start with #2 so I can continue with the series and finish it and then read the forbidden romance. I don‘t know if I‘ll finish the other 2 trilogies but if I can, I would like to.

Today, I‘m posting my #readyourkindle list. A lot of these books were on my list last month but I didn‘t get to read all of them so I‘m carrying them over from last month. I added 6 more books to my list this month since I read 4 of the books on my list from last month, DNF‘d 1 and removed 1 from my list because I lost interest in it. I‘m interested to see how many of these books will get read this month.

Today, I‘m sharing how I organized my Kindle. It took me forever. I organized it by genre. I think I finally have it organized the way I want it. The only categories that are not genres are: Online Articles, StoryGraph Giveaway wins, Goodreads Giveaway wins, Unavailable on Amazon, Amazon First Reads, Miscellaneous, Did Not Finish and Books I‘ve Read. However, I‘m still trying to decide what books I want to delete from my Kindle next.

Today, I‘m sharing how many ebooks and audiobooks I own. I looked because I wanted to see. I‘m glad Amazon counted the ebooks and audiobooks I own. I‘m not surprised that the amount of ebooks is higher. I made a collection on my Kindle app with books that I‘ve read but I‘m thinking about deleting ebooks I‘ve read that I‘m not going to reread.

Ebooks - 5,928
Audiobooks - 329

I‘ve made a lot of progress going through my uncollected books on my Kindle. I‘m probably going to be working on this all summer. I had over 1,000 uncollected books and then I shrunk that number to 915. Now, it‘s down to 600. 197 ebooks I downloaded are no longer available on Amazon and I don‘t know why. I don‘t know whether to delete them or not. I can still read them but I won‘t read them if they‘re the first book in a series.

Today, I‘m sharing uncollected books I have on my Kindle. I have my Kindle books organized into collections on the Kindle app but I have it organized by genre. I‘ve been working on adding the uncollected books to collections and now, I have 915 uncollected books. I had over 1,000 uncollected books before. I‘ve added some of them to collections. I‘ve deleted some books too. I‘m going to keep organizing my Kindle library.

I just saw this template on Instagram and I wanted to join in so this is what‘s on my Kindle. I have a lot of random books. I‘m still organizing my Kindle library. At first, I organized it by genre and then I started trying to do it by tropes. I got confused trying to organize by tropes so I went back to organizing by genre.

I‘m sharing books on my Kindle that are no longer available on Amazon and an error message I got when I tried to look up details for one of the ebooks. This is disappointing. I have 395 books on this shelf and I probably have more that need to be added. I‘m going to look these up on Goodreads. If they are the first book in a series then I‘ll delete them off my Kindle because I won‘t be able to continue with those books that are part of a series.

I was deleting ebooks off of my Kindle app that I don‘t want to read and I noticed that there‘s an option to permanently delete an ebook. Now that I know about this, I don‘t have to sign in to my Amazon account on a web browser and delete my ebooks from there like I was doing. I was looking through my ebooks and I was thinking to myself,”I don‘t remember downloading these ebooks. Why did I download these? Do I even want to read these books?”

Today, I‘m sharing my Kindle Reading Insights. I thought this was interesting. I don‘t read ebooks that often but I‘ve been reading on my Kindle app a lot because I‘m reading the Hoops series on Kindle Unlimited. I have a reading streak going now so I‘m interested to see how long I can keep it up.

My humble Kindle Paperwhite is, I feel, more suitable for on-the-go reading, being smaller and lighter, but I am definitely getting into using my new Scribe to make handwritten notes on the Chunksters I‘m reading!

My beloved paperwhite is dying.
What should I replace it with?
What would you all suggest?

IndoorDame The Paperwhite is the easiest on my eyes and, I think, still the lightest option, so it‘s definitely my favorite. But I do own an iPad and it‘s super important to me to have some kind of tablet for graphic novels and picture books, so if those are something you read and you don‘t have a work tablet at home, I‘d probably choose the Fire. 1y
MaureenMc I‘d stick with the Paperwhite. I‘m still loving mine. 1y

Today, I‘m sharing Christmas ebooks that I read a long time ago on my Kindle. I used to read ebooks more often than I do now. Now, I only listen to audiobooks. I really enjoyed these books when I read them. Maybe one day, I‘ll stop neglecting my Kindle and read the ebooks I have on it. I‘m also buying and preordering Kindle books which is adding on to the unread books that I already have on there.

It‘s time to get a new Kindle. Any suggestions? Which one do you have, and do you recommend it?

readingjedi I started on a Keyboard, progressed to the Paperwhite and now I have the Oasis. I absolutely love it. I particularly appreciate that I can use it right or left handed and that it has physical page turn buttons as well as touch screen. 3y
eanderson I have a paperwhite and an oasis. I love both of them. The adjustable amber light on the oasis is a total game changer though. 3y
Soubhiville I have an oasis too. My husband chose it for me because it‘s waterproof, which I haven‘t (thankfully) tested yet 🤣. I like it. 3y

I got an ebook credit recently of $1.40 from Amazon and I decided to use it to buy some books from the #kindledailydeals since my ebook credit will expire on April 6. These are the 3 that I chose. This is a good deal to me because I don‘t have to pay for these. I basically got them for free.

I have decided I have to organize my Kindle books, because I‘m struggling to find the books I purchased (as opposed to the massive quantity of free books). So I‘m setting up Collections. Since Kindle marks books as READ I don‘t think I need read and unread collections so I thought I‘d go with genre for the most part. Suggesrions for useful Collections to create? Thanks!!

Moray_Reads I was so relieved when they added the “read“ status, it makes life so much easier. I have 'Classics' and 'Modern Classics' too, just general genres and I also have collections for ARCs Unread, Read and Reviewed. 4y
Crazeedi I think by genre would be sufficient. If I read, I dont know if I'd even put in the collection, just leave as unclassified? Unless you reread books a lot, then I'd put in the read and unread 4y
ljuliel If I read it but want to keep it, I put it in a folder called Finished , and don‘t keep a copy in my other folders. That way, it‘s out of the way of ones still TBR. (edited) 4y

LinesUponAPage Smart ideas, everyone! 4y
TheAromaofBooks When I purchase them, I put them in my Unread collection, and because I'm a little OCD about reading series in order, I also put them in either First Book, 2nd Book (although that is for any later than first lol), or Independent. After I read them, if I like them I sort them by genre (and by series), if I'm never reading it again I put it in my Meh folder, and if I start it and realize it's terrible, I have a DNF folder as well. 4y
GingerAntics That might be a better system. I have series together in collections and then sort of a free for all of books I want to read in the near future. I may have to try to switch to this...or something close. I kind of like having longer series together (Harry Potter, Gareth and Gwen, Wolf Tales, Black Dagger Brotherhood, etc). 4y
GingerAntics @TheAromaofBooks now that is an awesome system!!! That is some organisation. I‘ve got some of that OCD. I may have to put it to good use. lol 4y
Scochrane26 I don‘t think I have this option on my kindle. So far, that‘s ok, because I can remember what I‘ve read, but it would be nice to have them in categories. 4y
Eggs I want to do this!! Hope my kindle has it 4y
TheAromaofBooks I have a bad habit of collecting lots and lots of Kindle books for free or a dollar and then not reading them because I don't want to start in the middle of a series or whatever, so I finally had to do something! My sister and I also have a shared Kindle library, so books I didn't even buy show up, too! Because of who I am as a person, I eventually also created a spreadsheet of my ebooks for quick reference... 🙃 4y
rwmg I use the year of purchase as a collection on my Kobo so I can see what has been waiting to be read for a long time. 4y
DGRachel That‘s awesome. I just set up ones for series and put books into the collection when I read them, but I love the idea of setting up genre categories. 4y

Anyone care to comment? I have a first generation kindle no WiFi , could not get chat person to understand it had a whispernet phone inside they no longer support.Someone is gifting it to me ,torn between paper white and Oasis ,what should I get?8g or32g?

lauren.lerner I have a paper white with WiFi (ad free) and I really like it. It‘s relatively sturdy and this particular model has actually really held up for me. 5y
rretzler I‘ve had a Paperwhite for several years and I love it. The most recent version is water resistant and can also play Audible books with the correct speakers. I‘ve had it since Christmas and it‘s fantastic. I always get the one with cellular connectivity, but the rest of my family just has the WiFi and they are happy. I think the page turn on the Oasis and the extra wide edge on one side would be annoying. 5y

Any other kindle users find they start having issues almost immediately after their extended warranty expires? Mine suddenly won‘t hold a charge for longer than 5-10 hours and takes like a day and a half to charge back again...
I‘m going to see if there‘s a software update or something that I missed, but right now I‘m super frustrated

Linsy ☹️ 5y
Traci1 My Paperwhite is ok, but my fire can't hold a charge for anything. I charge it to full, and if I let it sit for more than a few hours (even not in use), it'll be nearly dead. If I'm using it even on low settings, it's dead in an hour or less. I am pretty much stuck having to use it plugged in. 5y
Johanna414 @Traci1 I‘m afraid that‘s the direction my Paperwhite is headed... I‘ve always got it in airplane mode and low brightness but that doesn‘t seem to help. I guess I‘ll have to start keeping an eye out for sales to replace it 5y

TrishB My first kindle lasted a long time, well past the warranty, I‘ve only had a Paperwhite since last year so not there yet. I‘ve always thought this about phones! 5y
Siri_reads I had the same problem with my kindle two weeks after the warranty expired! I think they are made with a built in error that occurs almost simultaneously so we have to buy new ones 🤔😡 5y
ReadingVampire So I would try and call amazon and see what they can do. I cracked mine after the warranty and they sent me a new one without charge... I don‘t guaranty the same out come but it is worth a shot! 5y

In these cases, you will be given the option to request an exchange for an Amazon.com Gift Card on your account during the redemption process.

This was lots of fun last year, and I‘m excited that @dariazeoli is bringing it back. 😃

If you choose to share your Amazon email address with other Kindle-using Litsy peeps, you can give (and receive) the gift of Kindle books. See Daria‘s original post for more info and to sign up.

#KindLitsy

dariazeoli Thanks for sharing! 👍🏻 5y
Wonderwoman89 Where can I find my kindle address 5y
sprainedbrain @Wonderwoman89 sorry I should have been more clear—use the email address that you use for your Amazon account. 😃 5y

Kaye I might sign up for this one. I‘ve been trying to use my kindle a lot more so this would be fun I think. 5y
sprainedbrain @kaye you should! It‘s no pressure, and not a swap... you just give what you want and maybe get something fun, too! 😃 (edited) 5y
Kaye Thank you @sprainedbrain You talked me into it. I just hunted up Daria‘s post and sent her an email. 5y
Peddler410 Does it work if you have the kindle app but not a kindle? 5y
sprainedbrain @Peddler410 yes, it should! 5y

Repost for @dariazeoli this is a great idea and of course is perfect for the holidays but also anytime you want to send a friend a little treat

Last year, @JoeStalksBeck compiled a list of Littens with a Kindle or the Kindle app so we could gift each other books! I thought I‘d keep the tradition going! I‘m calling it #kindlitsy

See her original post for her email 😊

Birdsong28 Also on #Audible there is now an a option to 'Give as a gift' 😘📚📖 5y

Balibee146 Brilliant idea... Will email you.... X x 5y
Leniverse Great idea! I‘ve never actually gifted Kindle books. Can we gift across shops? I use the UK shop, would I have to go to the .com shop to gift someone in America? 5y
dariazeoli @Leniverse Good question! This is what I found in their Help: If you do not live in the same country as the person who gave you the Kindle book gift, the book may not be available to you due to copyright restrictions. In these cases, you will be given the option to request an exchange for an Amazon.com Gift Card on your account during the redemption process. For more information, see Exchange a Kindle Book Gift for an Amazon.com Gift Card. 5y
AmberWB This is so cool! Just emailed you. 😊 5y
Leniverse @dariazeoli Ok, so I either gift other UK littens, or I gift with fingers crossed. But worst case they‘ll just have to exchange the book, it won‘t get lost in the aether. 😂 5y
Wonderwoman89 I emailed you. I hope it went through 5y
Kaye Email being sent. This sounds like a fun and easy way to do a swap. I‘m trying to use my kindle more and it‘d be good to have a list of others who also like reading on kindles. 5y
Kaye Daria, I also had a question. Do we need to post books we are interested in on our tbr list in here or do we put them on our Public Wish List on Amazon ? 5y
JoScho @cassiopia yes girl! Love me a kindle book! 😊❤️ 5y
dariazeoli @kaye I think for consistency‘s sake we can stalk Litsy TBRs for gift ideas. 5y
Kaye Yep that‘d probably be easier. Guess I‘ll shift a few things over here. My tbr list is empty. I have some books on my Wish list at Amazon though. 5y
tracey38 This is fun! I am going to pay it forward as I have been gifted by some Littens this year. ❤ 5y

saguarosally I should look into this. Most of my reading anymore is just on my phone with the Kindle app. 5y

dariazeoli @TG789 you‘re not! I just need your email address that you sign into Amazon with! 5y
TG789 @dariazeoli yay! Th.gardner@yahoo.com so I just pick someone (or someone‘s) and send them a book? 😊 5y

dariazeoli @Traci1 it‘ll be ongoing thru the holidays; I‘ll add you t the masterlist later today 😊 This isn‘t a swap - anyone can send as many or few Kindle gifts as they want to. I‘m not sure who might not have received anything yet; there are lots of participants I don‘t know who may be new Littens 5y

Anyone else keeping their fingers crossed and hoping there are some good Kindle “cyber-Monday sales” for kindle books?

eanderson 🤞🙋‍♀️ 5y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @eanderson I was surprised they didn‘t have anything more exciting going on during their Black Friday all week/weekend to do. 5y
Joy0201 Most of the good ones happen around New Years. 5y
See All 26 Comments
BarbaraTheBibliophage Yes, holding my breath here. But I agree with @Joy0201 - the better ones happen after Christmas. 5y
TheBookDream I‘m hoping for some good Nook magazine subscription sales. Really want The Atlantic and Money 5y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Joy0201 @BarbaraTheBibliophage Yes, that‘s true, that‘s usually when they have a good one with a bunch of the Goodreads award nominees on sale, which is usually a decent smattering of hit books of the year. 5y
Redwritinghood Yes! So far there haven‘t been a lot of good deals this weekend. 5y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Redwritinghood That‘s what I thought too, for expanded out their sales and advertising across more and more days, I actually found less exciting worth offers. So more ads, emails, and flyers... but kind of humdrum offers so far.🤷‍♀️ 5y
Moray_Reads The didn't seem to be any new deals. They just changed the title of "autumn sale" to "black Friday" but it was the same books that have been on sale all month 5y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Moray_Reads Yes, that was my thought too. Disappointing 5y
BarbaraTheBibliophage Even with my disappointment, I‘ve picked up a few also! 5y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage Oohh, what did you find good! 5y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage I want to make sure I didn‘t miss any hidden gems, LOL 5y
BarbaraTheBibliophage I got The Heart‘s Invisible Furies (despite having a print copy). Also Attica Locke‘s first one. The Great Alone by Kristen Hannah. (Again, because the Audible isn‘t enough. 😜) The Cabin at the End of the World and The Chalk Man. I have no self-control. 5y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage I do that too sometimes, sometimes I want to be able to switch back and forth and want both formats. So frustrating, I wish they sold them that way, like the DVD, Blue-Ray, and digital code for that version too. 5y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage Now I have to check out the audible sales. 5y
BarbaraTheBibliophage I like to switch audio and ebook with WhisperSync. It makes a long book go fast! I was thinking of Artemis, but decided against it. The hair book looks fun! I got a few from the Audible sale too. The Gene. Red Notice. War on Peace. The Righteous Mind. For our NF buddy reads! 5y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage I know! I‘m excited for that...I‘ve been debating with myself if I could read 26 in one year and make it my AtoZ challenge....which would be a big challenge for me, I usually average about 1 NF a month, not sure if I can do 2 or a bit more a month. 5y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage The Gene is great, I have that one already. It was really good on audiobook, the ebook is on sale today too. 5y
BarbaraTheBibliophage Oooh. I‘ll grab the ebook of The Gene too! I think I‘m skipping AtoZ this year. I over-challenged myself in 2018. Need to step back and just enjoy for 2019. So I‘m only doing two—Booked and Reading Women. Plus our buddy read, which isn‘t a challenge in the same way, IMHO. 5y
BarbaraTheBibliophage And then I discovered I already own Artemis! 😜 5y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage Haha, I‘ve done that! Artemis was on sale on both too I saw, I got the ebook version. (edited) 5y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage I saw your post for Booked for 2019, but what‘s the Reading Women challenge. 5y

2- Voyager 🛰
3- everyday !
4- too many to count.
5- yes! It also lives in permanent airplane mode so my library books don‘t expire 😂
6- n/a
7- yes I love my origami case.

Also the Voyage is being discontinued which is a travesty! I would recommend getting a refurbished voyage while you still can. It‘s the perfect midrange model.
