I found this thread in a desperate attempt to figure out if there was anyway to be able to add to my PW2 all my books via USB and then manually add them to collections. Apparently not easily. I get that warning message every time and let's not forget about the fact that when I go to manage a collection, it shows all the books on my Cloud which I could care less about as I already have them in my own files.

And then I discovered the Calibre Collections feature that made me excited but then not excited when I learned that it doesn't yet support the PW2. So, now I patiently wait and hope and pray that ixtab is able to update his collections manager file to support the PW2.

I would think that it would be easy enough to be able to have the option not to show your books on the cloud when trying to manage your collections. Amazon must be taking a page from Apple whose products I refuse to buy because of their proprietary attitudes.

My husband loves his PW1, so he bought me this for Christmas to replace my Kindle 3. So far, my Christmas gift has been a big, frustrating dud.
