Hi
I originally asked these questions here, but apparently they are better placed in this thread.

I'd like to automate a few steps of loading books on my kindle.
First of all, is it possible to identify the kindle based on the files calibre leaves on it instead of the USB Identifier? I am trying to connect to it via sshfs instead of USB, but Kindle Collections "thinks" it is another device and therefore doesn't save the configuration.
Also, is it possible to automate the Collections generation? Ideally, after every "send to device" or possibly when closing calibre, the Collections would be regenerated and updated on the kindle (with librarian sync, `ssh kindle /mnt/us/extensions/librariansync/generate_collections.py --update-calibre`). This could be archived when Kindle Collections would expose a command line interface.
