Meme, thank you for your post in the Kindle Collection Manager thread. I've been afraid to try your plugin, for exactly the reasons you mention. I don't want to worry about tags, I just want to be able to sort my books by author or series or theme and make a collection for them by dragging and dropping.
I DO use calibre, but mainly for converting and storing my library and updating metadata. Much of its advanced functionality is scary.
Your post made me go and try it out. Hooray!
You CAN use the plugin to just create collections on the fly. Getting your books into them is a little cumbersome for those of us who like drag and drop, but selecting the collection in a dropdown box and ticking a box next to the title you want in the collection works ok. I really hope you continue to work on this aspect of the plugin for us Fraidy Cats who like to do it the non-automated way.
I like the way you can see whether a title is in a collection and how many it is in represented by the number.
I've just restarted my Kindle and all the changes I asked for are there.
Thank you very much for all your hard work.
Maybe I'll get around to playing with author sort. Though it sounds sort of scary....
