Thanks again and I have a last question regarding the [PDOC]/[EBOK]-tag, if you or anyone else has an answer.

Let's say I'm not using the cloud at all. Adding books to a collection will always give me the following notification: "You have added items to this collection that will not be synced to the cloud", which is quite annoying, but not as annoying as the following thing issue.

__________________________________________________ ________________________________________________

Adding sideloaded books using "Add/Remove Items" to a collection is quite inconvenient. Why? Because you can only sort the book list by "recent/title/author", but not filter it at all.

This book list is showing me both the books I already have on the device and the ones in the cloud. So it mixes up "sideloaded books", "cloud-downloaded books" and "cloud-books, not downloaded yet".

From Amazon's point of view this is perfectly understandable.

Example: Harry Potter ():
-A customer buys the seven books from the Kindle store
-Then he creates a collection "Harry Potter"
-After finish a book he deletes it off his device, but keeps it in the collection (and cloud)

__________________________________________________ ________________________________________________

To get to the point. If you don't manage your books using the Amazon cloud at all, but use e.g. Calibre instead, this will of course not work. Someone told me I should simply use the "personal doc"-option in the Calibre output-settings, then send them to my PW2 again. This will make them appear is the "Docs"- instead of the "Books"-list. This makes adding them to a collection far easier, since the cloud-stores-books are hidden there.

And finally my question:

Will this introduce any problems of whatever kind?
