I have a defective Kindle that Amazon agreed to replace, I received the replacemnt today. Aall my books sit in folders and collections have respective names. No problem to copy folders, problem is in copying collections. I never used Calibre to manage my books and did everything manually.
Tried to save collections from old Kindle inside Calibre, then diconnected old Kindle, connected the new one...but saved collectiions seem to go away...
Is there any way to keep them and save to new Kindle?

Hi there.
You don't say much about the contents on your old kindle. Only amazon books, mix, or ?
Look in the kindle user guide, search for "Adding Collections from another Kindle". This might work. Tried that in december when my first K3 got a screen error. I was not too happy, but then I have a mix of amaxon DRM books, and non DRM from many other sources.
The following could/might work for you, if the above doesn't, but I can't be sure:
NEW kindle: connect with USB, go to the systems folder, and make a backup copy of collections.json file. Disconnect from USB
OLD kindle: connect with USB, go to the systems folder, and copy collections.json to your desktop (or where ever ). Disconnect from USB
NEW Kindle: connect with USB, goto systems folder, and copy collections.json from your desktop to the systems folder.
Disconnect from USB, restart your new kindle, and it should work.
Maybe someone else has other experiences/suggestions..
A bit more info would be nice though
