![]() ![]() The current view is ‘list view’, but a click on the grid of squares reveals much bigger book covers, more like your Kindle device itself: Look closely on the top left, though, because those three tiny icons – the sun, the grid of squares, and the dot-dash lines – are quite helpful. SWITCH TO KINDLE COVER VIEW AND DARK MODE For example, click on “Recent” and you can reverse the sort order and see what the oldest ebooks are in your Kindle library. You can also click on any of the column titles to sort by that information. You can do that same click-and-drag to widen each of the columns, which completely changes your view: Now you can see that I have both tiny thumbnails of the book covers and actual book titles. The entire column will begin to expand, with more information showing up as you go: Now click and, while you’re holding down the mouse button, move the cursor to the right. Move your cursor to the line between “Title” and “Author” and it’ll change to a tiny double-arrow icon. You’re exactly right when you say it’s hard to figure out which ebook is which, and doubly so if they have similar covers! The problem here is an easy one to fix, however! Each column, Title, Author, Recent, Downloaded, has a left and right edge, which can be moved within the window! This is what I expect you’re seeing on your iMac when you open up the Kindle app: Let’s have a closer look!

In terms of the Kindle for Mac app that you’re talking about, I believe I understand what’s happened to your program and it’s solved with a click-and-drag action. On the Kindle device, there aren’t many options, so it’s easy and looks good all the time, but on the Mac system – or a PC – there are some settings that can get a bit munged up and cause problems. The problem is that as with most programs, the programmers make assumptions about what you understand and can figure out in each of the different programs. Amazon’s done a great job creating a Kindle ecosystem so you can bounce between your Android phone, your Mac system, and your Kindle reader, without ever losing your place in your current eBook. ![]()
