I have just read a really good thriller (Fallen Idol) and as it is the start of a series using the same lead characters I have bought the other 4 books in the series.

Is there any way of marking on the kindle which order to read them in? I have my books in categories but it is not obvious from the titles which is the correct order and I don't really want to keep a post it note inside my cover !

I would like to know if there's a solution to this too - when I was reading Jo Nesbo's Harry Hole series, I managed to read them completely out of order.

 

Only way I can suggest is very long-winded. Add each book to a separate collection, named something sensible like (Series name/author name) No. 1, No.2, etc.

 

I'm sure there must be a better way though...

Hmm this might work - create a collection just for the series of books and make sure that the books are added to the collection in reverse order (so that the first book in the collection appears at the top) As long as you dont peek at the other books before reading them they should stay in that order?

 

Will have a go when I get home and see if it works

Just been looking at this http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200375850

 

If you look about halfway down it shows you how to change the way the books are sorted

 

It should work if I change my setting to sort by author as the books are all by the same author so they should (hopefully) stay in the order I add them to the collection.

 

Here's hoping anyway

OK well that didn't work BUT I think I have found a solution

 

I created a collection for the series of books, opened the first page of each book and added a note against the start of the page saying Book 1, Book 2 etc (go into menu - add notes)

 

All you do then is to right click on the title of the book and view notes and you will see which one it is.

 

No need really for a separate collection but it works for me

I have:

Fiction

Fantasy

Travel

Historical

Bio

Chick Lit

Vampire Lit :oops:

Classics

Reference

 

 

I wish there was a way you could sub category as well,then I would also have a series section,subcatagoried for each series (Harry Potter,True Blood etc)

 

I am sure this will be one of the features on the next Kindle,as well as the ability to sort in the order you prefer,& *fingers crossed* lovely colour covers too :P
