You may also see multiple-choice hints for words with more than one possible meaning when we’re not quite sure which is the right one. For those words, we show you our best guess above the word. When you tap the hint, all possible meanings of the word display and you can let us know which one is most helpful in the given sentence. To turn off multiple-choice hints, open the Aa menu, navigate to the “More” tab and select Word Wise, then disable Show Multiple-Choice Hints.

Collections on your cloud account will always display in Collections view. You can modify how collections show in Grid and List view by opening Settings >Device options > Advanced options > Home and Library > Collections. Here you can select to show collections only in Collections view, show favorites in Library, or show All in Library. Depending on the selected setting, collections appear in your All Items, Books, Comics, Periodicals, and Docs views. To mark a collection as a favorite, tap the Menu icon on the collection’s cover when in Grid or Collections view, or on the right side of the screen when in List view, then tap mark collection as favorite. You can also view this option by pressing and holding on the collection’s cover (or name if using List view). Note that this setting is device-specific and will not be saved when you deregister your Kindle. When show only favorites is selected in the settings menu, you can hide collections from Grid or List view by tapping menu icon on the collection’s cover, then tapping Remove collection from favorites. You can also view this option by pressing and holding on the collection’s cover or title.
