PW4 - Kindle Collections Manager (Non-Jailbroken)
Hi all,
Silly question here and i'm pretty sure the answers will be "No - it must be jailbroken" but...if you don't ask you don't know. I am one of those people that purchased the PW4 8GB with SO from the Amazon Prime Day - unfortunately mine came with 5.10.3 factory FW that cannot be software jailbroken as of yet. I have over 100+ collections (1050 books) within my Calibre Library - previously I was using "Kindle Collections Manager" on my Gen 1 PW to manage all of this. Can any advise how I can go about putting all my books/collections on my new PW4 without having to create the individual collections on the kindle? Thanks all |

Unfortunately, you're out of luck as far as automatic collection creation via Calibre goes.
If you're willing to use Amazon's cloud, easiest is probably Email-to-Kindle then just add books to collections via web browser or smartphone/tablet Kindle app. |

Same boat here. my advice would be to prevent further updates, pray someone works out an exploit in the future to jailbreak this (or a version you can upgrade to).

Thanks for the responses guys.
I figured that was the case but I couldn't help but hope. I've gone through and created all the collections manually - now using Calibre to move them over - 1 series at the time. So..it turns out that I was slightly wrong about the number of collections - I have 197... |
