The Kindle Fire tablet can store thousands of documents in a variety of file types. You might access some of these documents through the Books list on your Kindle. There, you can organize your documents by Cloud Collections. If some of the documents on your Kindle are not accessible through your Books library, you can use a third-party file management utility to organize them.
