Shelves are yours to name: a shelf for the classics, one for books a friend lent you, one for the next holiday. A book can sit on as many shelves as you like.
Make a shelf
- In Library, tap the menu button at the top right.
- Choose Manage Shelves.
- Tap the + button and give the shelf a name.
- Tap Add.
You can also make a shelf while you’re on a book: tap In Library, then Create new shelf.
Add or remove several books at once
- Open the shelf from Library by tapping its name.
- Tap the menu button at the top right and choose Manage Books.
- Tick the books you want on the shelf, and untick the ones you don’t.
- Tap Done.
Sort a shelf
In a shelf’s menu, Sort by offers Latest Activity, Title (A-Z), Author (A-Z), Date Added and Your Order. To set your own order, choose Arrange Books, drag the books where you want them, and tap Done. Each shelf remembers its own sort.
Tip
With Group by Shelves on, the Library menu also offers Hide Empty Shelves, for a tidier view while a new shelf is still empty.
Good to know
Rename or delete shelves in Manage Shelves: press and hold a shelf to rename it, or tap Edit to reorder or delete. Deleting a shelf never deletes its books. A book on no shelf at all waits in the Leaf Pile.
