I guess I'll have to spend some of the my holiday time off, adding/fixing tags for my books in Calibre before I can try your software. I'm quite lazy when it comes to managing my ebook collection. 
Thanks again.  |
You're definitely welcome. ^_^ I need to load a bunch more books on my Kindle to see how long the AKC! program takes with a full one. With 400 books, my 3-year-old laptop takes less than 2 seconds to create all of the collections necessary. I'll be very impressed with myself if it's less than 20 seconds for 4000.
Now, I will admit there is one annoying issue that would accompany this type of program approach: You'll end up with a LOT of directories in your Kindle. If you're browsing through the Kindle's contents withe file explorer, that could be a pain. Those directories are invisible to Calibre and in the Kindle itself, however, so it should not cause any usage problems for the vast majority of people. Trying to manage the collections by hand in the form of creating these directories yourself would be a huge orderal, and at that point it would probably be better to use another collection management program. AKC! was written primarily to be used with Calibre, as using the two together allows for the maximum amount of automation. I'm a big fan of less work.
