I have the Kindle app on the IPad Pro. I have hundreds of books and would love to create folders with different books. Is there a way of printing out the list of books so I can start looking them up and begin creating a list of folders/categories.

You can get a fairly compact list on Amazon.com/myk - as a bonus, this is one of the pages you can add books to collections with too.Not sure if you'd want to print from that page, but you could always copy/paste it to another application.
It might be easier to do it with a program like Calibre (Calibre Companion on apple). If you use the desktop version you can just hook up your kindle and transfer your books into Calibre (with all of the book metadata). Then you can organize your books into folders, tag them however you want, and use that as a basis to make your collections in the Cloud. Printing it out and doing it by hand might take a lot more work.

Another option would be to link your Goodreads account with your Amazon account and sync up your purchases. (Or create a temporary account, sync to that so it'll capture all of the books, then delete it later.) It'd be kind of tedious clicking "Want to read" or whatever for each one, but the bonus to that would be that they'd be clickable links here on Goodreads so you could easily look them up.

Yes, they would need to be on the kindle. I assumed that with only a few hundred they would be. good catch :-)

Thank you for this link. I’m not able to copy and paste or print. However, I can more easily add folders and books to collections on this page.

I’ll have to research as I don’t have an Apple computer so not sure I’d I can do this all on the same tablet. I appreciate the new info.

The number is embarrassing - 1249.

Not individual lines, but you can copy the page as a whole (scroll all the way to the bottom first so it loads the whole page), then paste that in Notepad, and then you can copy/paste individual titles/authors from there.

of course you might have to import your books first
I was super unhappy with Calibre but NOW Amazon has a collection function!
