PERFECT Solution for Calibre users !

I keep all my books nicely organized in Calibre, and only keep the books I have not read, on the Kindle. As soon as I finish a book, I delete it from the Kindle, and it stays in Calibre. When it's time to start a new book, I either go out and get it if I don't already have it, or find it by browsing my Calibre library, then just open it up on the Kindle. I sort my books by author on the Kindle and use a Calibre plugboard to include the series name and number in the book title. Makes finding any book pretty quick and easy. Maybe someone can help me understand what I'm missing by not using collections...
Thanks for that solution. It is a perfect way to use Calibre. If I ever start using Calibre, I will follow exactly what you have designed.

I strongly recommend that other Calibre users here read it and think strongly about using it this way.

I am copying it to MS OneNote as a reference for myself.
