What are Ratings?

Ratings are the Stars in each of the books in your Library.
You use these to Rate/Rank books in your Library.
No gold star means you have not rated that book.
5 gold stars is the top rating, 1 gold star means you rated that book much less than a 5 star book.

What is Rating used for?

Ratings can be used in Search and in setting up dynamic Collections.
Example in Search (the books had been rated with 4 stars).
Example in Collections (Bibles with Rating >1): see Collections
You could rate new books as 2 stars and review them when time permits. That way, books that are not useful can be rated 1 star.

View your rating in Library via the Rating column in Details view.

You can do this in Library, using the Info pane.

Click on the first book that you want selected,
then move to the last book that you want selected.
Hold the Shift key down and click on the last book.
If there is a book that you did not want selected, move the mouse over that book, hold the Ctrl key down and click.
Open the Info pane by clicking on the icon
Click on the appropriate star to rate these books.
Alternatively, you could click on Clear ratings to remove all ratings.
