Collections are to help you organize, not create more pages on the device to scroll through in order to find your books. More than that and again, you’ll have pages and pages of collections with only one book. Plus, if creating collections based on authors is a nice idea if you only have five or six authors. If you download tags from Amazon or another source, it is likely that you are going to have thousands of tags with only one book in them. Creation of automatic tags: I do not advise using this feature if a) you have a ton of books on your device or b) unless your calibre metadata is very clean.Highlight the plugin and then click “customize plugin” button. You will need to find the Kindle Collections plugin which is located under “User Interface Action plugins” or type “Kindle Collections” in the search bar. Customize PluginĪfter Calibre is restarted, go to Preferences -> Plugins. You must have your Kindle connected to your computer to operate the plugin. Once you have installed the plugin, you will need to restart Calibre. Hook up the Kindle to the computer, open Calibre, and install the plugin according to instructions here.

Synching capabilities often result in multiple versions of the same collections when you are editing on the device itself.
Thus a book in a collection on your PC will not show up in the collection on your Kindle device unless the book is downloaded onto the Kindle device.
To reduce the bugginess, I have downloaded my entire Kindle library and when I open the Kindle 4 Mac program, I wait until the entire library is loaded before I try to do anything with the Kindle 4 Mac program. The Computer Apps are buggy and take time to load.This screenshot, for example, shows only the standard sorting features.Ībout a month ago, Kindle did release updated features on its computer apps which allows you to create collections on your laptop or desktop using the computer app and then importing those collections onto the device. I admit to not being encouraged by Kindle Fire screenshots that user organization will be improved with the new devices. Organizing your books on the Kindle device is one of the greatest struggles (and one of the greatest flaws) of the Kindle devices. Jane Ebooks Calibre / Kindle 25 Comments Introduction
