Can you direct me to a good topic showing how one does this? I have been reluctant to try the plug boards and get a bit lost when I am in the Calibre section.

I use Calibre to store my books. I have mucked about with the meta data so that they are labelled the way I want and sorted they way I want.

I have not used plug boards and I have never mucked with Kindle directories or hacked a Kindle.

ie, I am still a novice in actual Kindle and Calibre usage.

I have 400 or so e-books (some are anthologies so the total number of books is in the 600's) and I have collections broken into Fiction, Non-Fiction, Science Fiction, Fantasy, Action Adventure, and that type of thing. I try and limit the collections so that there is only one page of them.
