Creating an eBook collection with multiple levels

Hello all,

I have a Kindle Touch and I'd like to create a collection of very short documents in my Kindle, but with multiple levels.

Basically it's structured like a "Year": Year is the main collection (what you see when you browse your kindle), then you have 12 Months (collections) inside of it, and inside of each month, a varying number of stories (as if they were the Days).

An exemplified scheme would be what you see below. Is it doable or do I want too much? Thank you in advance.

You can't do it. Collections are single-level only. They aren't folders, but "tags".

Hello Harry, thanks for the reply. I guess I'll just set them as chapters.

Using the Collections Manager kindlet (requires jailbreak) you can manipulate some of the hidden areas in the Kindle code... the long and short of it is that hierarchical collections are possible.

I do it, and it is very nice. I think it is the only device which allows nesting collections, even though it is kind of a glitch.

Yes.. Collection manager allows hierarchical collections to be created..

Only problem is that you can enter a nested collection.. but backing out is buggy.. you have to head home directly..

Backing out works fine on my Kindle Touch.

Thank you for letting me know about it. However I don't feel like jailbreaking my device just for that. I can simply use a very long index and a very long ebook. :P Thank you again though.
