I have a "minor" problem, I'm hoping folks here can help me out with.

I'm running Calibre on Linux, specifically PCLinuxOS, with the latest version downloaded for both.

I've had some OS problems that caused me to back up all of my files on DVD, including my latest collection of almost 1,000 books. And then my Kindle died. I got a replacement from Amazon, and have been able to back up the list of book collections as I had 'em. Unfortunately, when I went to reinstall Calibre, it then rejected the current collection, and created a "Calibre Library2". So I go to re-add those books to my Kindle, and none of them are recognized by the Kindle as belonging into the various collections I had them in.

I really don't want to manually re-sort almost 1,000 books. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
