Want to get rid of default collections and create my own
Been using my Sony Reader quite a while now and to be honest haven't really gone into the organisation features in any sort of depth. This was fine until recently.
Basically my reader became a bit congested and I had issues with formatting of certain titles. So I wiped it and started again. I'm now using the Sony Reader software and buying titles from places like waterstones. Everything is working great with respect to that. I'm about to buy some more books but relating to work. What I really want to do is separate these. I'm not sure if collections do what I want. But if this is what I need to do is there any way to get rid of all the default ones, searching through non relevant categories/collections is probably just as time consuming as trying to find the book alphabetically. I'd just like to browse to collections->see technical and then press it and there's the books. I realise I may need to move to Calibre again but don't want to unless this is possible - also will it affect how I currently buy books, the process seems to be pretty automatic. Thanks for any advice. |

PRS+ is your friend. You can hide all the default collection and you can, even, organize them in subcollections (in any level) or you can browse by folders if you like.

Just been reading about this, looks ideal. Will give it a shot tonight and hopefully my reader will resemble what I want it to!

Or Calibre to set up your collections based on what YOU want them to be.

But calibre doesn't hide the default collections, neither creates subcollections. BTW, calibre and PRS+ don't exclude themselves.

It can remove them.
I think there is a some code that can use subcollections. I am trying to track it down, or get it added to Calibre. And I am aware of that, I use both. |

Nope, pretty sure Calibre can't remove the pre-defined collections. Even PRS+ doesn't remove them. It just hides them.
Subcollections is a feature of PRS+. It's not natively supported by the default Sony firmware. If you don't have PRS+ installed, you can't get subcollections on the Sony readers. Any mention of subcollections you might have seen in the Calibre forum is in reference to PRS+. I should know. Most of those posts are probably mine. |

What default collections are you talking about then? I haven't paid any attention to them then.
Yes, I know about PRS+ and subcollections. There was a post in the Calibre section about someone getting help to have Calibre support them. It seems there was a way with some add in code. I am hoping that someone will re-write the Sony plug in or write a new one for PRS+ to beter support subcollections. |
