So as the title says.... I recently added a bunch of books to my Fire Tablet from my PC and did a Scan as I've always done.

I was troubled to realize I could no longer locate the book I had been in the middle of reading.  I know some of my epub files have some organizational issues... some of the authors are actually some of the book titles, some authors are last name first, some are first name first, etc.

Then I realized at the top of the app it says, "My Books (500 of 641)"

I cannot seem to find a way to go to another page.  I do see where I can organize my books into lists, which may be a workaround, but how can I go beyond this 500 book limit?

Is this something that is available in the paid version?  I have no problems paying the $2.00 for the upgraded version as I think this is a fantastic program if it will solve this issue.

I can find nothing on the App store page that tells what exactly the upgraded version does, nor do I see any mention of the 500 book limit on either page.

I suppose this information might be in the 3 tutorials, but they're extremely long and haven't been updated since 2013 so I didn't watch them.

Also, is it really necessary to do an image verification and sentence riddle for every post?  I mean I did that when I signed up in the first place.

Hi Mathius,

The 500 book limit is just the limit I put on the Book Lists that you have available by default. As you mention, you can create your own Book Lists that have a larger (or no) limit, but there is a standard Book List called "All Books" that will use the eLibrary Setting "Limit" as the upper limit for the list. To enable this Book List, do the following:

  • Open eLibrary Settings in the "Settings" tab and edit the "Book Lists" setting. Add list "All Books" to the selected list. You can move it to the first position if you like and remove the "My Books" list if you don't want that to appear any longer.
  • Update the "Limit" setting to a larger value (say 1000) or just clear the setting out to apply no limit.
  • Save the changes. Now you'll be able to select the "All Books" Book List and see all of your books.

There are also many other ways you can navigate your library to find books. You can use the "Search" feature to find books easily. Just enter keywords you want to search against. If the keyword (or keywords) match against any of the author, title, or description metadata/book info, the search result will list those matching books. The "Search" feature uses the same search expressions that you can use when you define your own custom Book Lists. If you find yourself doing the same "Searches" over and over again, you can create a custom Book List to do that search a little easier.

You can use fairly complex search expression, but the easiest way to search is by simply entering keywords. But if you are interested in exploring more complicated search expressions, you can find information about the query language in the online documentation at https://kpwsite.com/home/content/eLibrary/guide_search.html with examples.

If you have the Full version of the app, there is a Book Info Browser as well that allows you to navigate your library based on author, category, ratings (and more).

Hi again Mathius,

I forgot to mention... The App Store listings (both on the Amazon App Store and Google Play) have a "[Full]" or "[Full Version]" qualifier in front of those features that are available in the Full version. You can also see the same in the online documentations at https://kpwsite.com/home/content/eLibrary/about.html, https://kpwsite.com/home/content/eReader/about.html and https://kpwsite.com/home/content/eLibrary/download.html.
