  1. This is awesome. I am scared to even look at my entire Kindle library. Eep!
    I used to receive emails daily about free book alerts, I had to unsubscribe because I was just downloading everything :/

  2. Gosh. Thanks for sharing! I need to work on actually utilizing all the e-books I have on my computer… thanks for some great tips or organizing them! Maybe that’ll help me actually READ them too!

    1. When I organized mine I realized how many I had yet to read too! I still have some that I need to read but I’m no longer overwhelmed by all the books on my computer or on my Kindle 🙂

  3. This is really helpful. My Kindle library is completely out of control! I found you at the Cozy Spot Link-Up and I linked up our favorite Easter books and resources here. I also host an all-things-book link-up every Thursday on Mommynificent.com. We’d love to have you join us for Booknificent Thursday any time!

  4. I have started organizing my ebooks but havent quite figured out how to organize the videos, audios, printables and curriculum I have downloaded. I really need to give myself permission to delete some stuff. Sounds like sacrilege to delete books! I have started doing the same thing with my kindle account and even have most of them organized into categories (much easier to do on a computer instead of on my tablet). I have about 20 on my device right now, including books for my kids. No extra tips on how to do it except dont try to do it all at once. Oh, I did get and idea from Amy at Raising Arrows: have a folder on your desktop that all new downloaded (non kindle) ebooks get saved into and then, when you have time, you can click and drag into the appropriate folder. Really handy when downloading bundles with large amounts of books.

    1. Tessa that is a good idea about having a separate download folder to put those documents in until you have more time to sort through them. I’ll have to try that! And yes, I used to feel that it was against everything I believed in to delete books too but can’t tell you the freedom I have felt as I have been clearing out the digit clutter from my life. I always have to remind myself that I don’t keep books that I don’t love on my bookshelves, so why would I keep them on my computer? And while I’m not homeschooling, I have downloaded my fair share of preschool resources that I desperately need to sort through and make some honest decisions if I will ever really use them! 🙂

  5. I use a plug-in called Send to Kindle to transfer all my PDF eBooks to my Kindle Fire. It has a checkbox that allows a backup of the eBook to be stored in your Kindle cloud. I like that feature and don’t know if that happens if you email an eBook to your Kindle.
