I've looked at this but not yet tried it. I must admit, it has an appeal. Bascially, you use a directory structure on your pc to create collections. I have some observations/questions before trying it. Keeping mind that I use Calibre (as just about everyone who has a kindle does, I suspect, to manage what I put on my kindle.
Here's how I see my work flow using your program and Calibre.
1) Continue to use Calibre to convert and put books on my kindle.
2) When ready to create collections, copy the kindle data to my pc.
3) Create a directory structure per your instructions with my desired collections.
4) Run the dir command you indicate.
5) Paste data as indicated into your web page.
6) Generate json file.
7) Copy files to Kindle and restart.
So, let's say I've done this initially and am satisfied with the results. Then I use Calibre to add some books to the kindle. Would my process than be:
1) Copy just the added books to my pc and put them in the desired collections directory.
2) run the dir command
5) Paste data
6) Generate json file
7) Copy only new books to kindle and restart.
I suppose I could copy all to the kindle as was done initially. I could do that each time I want to add books to the kindle. But let's say I'm in the middle of a book, if I copied all to the kindle, would I lose my place in the book.
One final observation: your method is only workable for as long as your web page is available. Collection Manager is on my hard drive and won't go away.
