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?

For your amazon only books:
New kindle, use menu to go to archives. There should be an option at the very beginning. "
Add Other Device Collections" clicking this will then send you to a screen listing the names of your devices. select device.
I haven't used this function in awhile, Meme's program combined with calibre is vastly better. But, if I remember correctly, the collection names are imported into the new kindle and, if the same amazon purchased books exist on the new kindle then they are put into the collection you assigned on the old kindle. This does not send books to the new kindle only collections. You still have to pull the books from archives or re-send using manage my kindle.
If you have non-amazon purchased books, you will have to re-load and re-add those to collections manually.
Thankfully when amazon customer service had me do a hard reset, all of my files were in calibre. So adding books via calibre and using collection manager to add collections made the process extremely easy.
Good luck.
