My problem with Kindle is all my books are on the last page. Icannot get the back to the start to reread them.   i have tried to reverse them to no avail.    I havent bothered with it for a few years because of this.     As others have said a Kindle is easier to carry  a lot of books on for holidays.
     Hoping some of you clever people can help me. T  I  A .

On mine when I get to the last page, tap top left hand corner. That shows Go to and a symbol a bit like pages
Tap Go to and it gives you the opportunity to go to the beginning.

Derek, no need to back up as the others have said. When I changed my kindle from an earlier model it downloaded everything from Amazon.

And if you see a book you are interested in on Kindle and click to buy, it will also tell you whether you've already bought it and what date.

Only if you try to buy exactly the same version you bought before.
I have two different versions of complete works of William Shakespeare and a couple of other duplicates, originally bought as single books and then included in boxed sets I bought later.

I have a kindle app on my PC and on my phone as well, so when I buy a book, I download to PC and phone at the same time as my Kindle. But as already said you can always download again from Amazon if bought through them. Not sure about other services
