Amazon assumes most of their users
don't Have A Clue* (which is reasonable
) and they update silently. We have a workaround for that here:

And Calibre: can Kindle really transform tags into collections with a sync, even if a book has more than one tag (each tag -> book goes into corresponding collection, if not there, build it)?
And does it handle series? I trained the Sony to fill a collection with books that are part of a series, called it SERIES ABC. It shows all series, series names in alphabetical order; within that, ordered by episodes.
<book title>
<author> - <series A title> - <001>
<book title>
<author> - <series A title> - <002>
<book title>
<author> - <series A title> - <003>
<book title>
<author> - <series B title> - <001>
<book title>
<author> - <series B title> - <002>
<book title>
<author> - <series C title> - <001>
<book title>
<author> - <series C title> - <002>
<book title>
<author> - <series C title> - <003>
<book title>
<author> - <series C title> - <004>

Of course, each book of a series is filed under its genre tag(s) based collection(s). In all lists I can see which book belongs to which series and its series number as well. I don't want collections by series (each series one collection) mixed with the list of collections by genres.
My Calibre workflow to achieve this with current setup per book: add tags for author, title, genre(s), series title (if any) and series number (if any), then sync.

Using the
[GUI Plugin] Kindle Collections, you can export collections based on any calibre metadata, just like with the Kobo/Sony.
You will need to import it into the Kindle, using
LibrarianSync (this requires the jailbreak).
Other than that, it is much the same -- except that the Kindle Collections plugin takes the opportunity to add fine-grained customization of which collections get created, and a few other fancy things.

hard to explain all that in English, sorry guys! Gotta go catch up with sleep now...

Do not apologize for not sharing the same native language as us.
We understand, and will bear with you.
(And I do note that many foreigners speak better English than some Americans. I have seen and heard some atrocious English from the people who REALLY should know better. FAR worse than yours.
Your English is quite good, from what I have seen of it.
