Creating Collections on Sony Reader
 

I am sorry if this has been asked several times before, I 've tried a search and couldn't really see what it was I was looking for

Essentially all I want is simple instructions on how to use calibre to put my books into collections on my e-reader.

I have a sony reader PRS350 and all was quite well until the e-reader software lost the left menu and I tried updating it. Now I have this awful reader for PC software, which as far as I can tell is based on the idea that people like to look at their book covers and don't really care about being able to manage their books.

and well I had all my books in various collections (eg star trek), but couldn't access them with the reader for pc software. Did a hard reboot thinking I could create collections on the reader for PC software and sync them. But no. So I've seen some people here suggesting just do it through calibre.

:thanks:

I wrote this detailed step-by-step some time ago for using calibre to create Sony Collections and to see Series info on the reader. It's long but no technical knowledge is assumed. Hope it helps :)

It does thank you very much :)

Jackie helped me set up my T1 years ago and it is still working with no problems. It is a great guide!

I started off with over 1000 collections although I had tried to go in and edit the meta data in bulk

Im down to 600 odd although I can find the collections I'm looking for going alphabetically. I might decide to go through and tidy it up a bit. A bit happier.

Really annnoyed about the updated sony software though. I don't really need to do anything really complicated with my books and I was happily dragging, dropping, dragging, dropping. Done. Could slap whoever redesigned it.
