edited: fixed plugboard. Now get the series number on each book on my Voyage!

I'm relearning how to use collections in light of getting a Fire and Voyage. I keep fewer than 100 books on any one device these days as having many, many books didn't work out for me in the past. However, if I can figure out the collections better, I can keep far more on.

I like collections. I create a collection to hold all of one series or author, Scifi, Mystery/crime, COMPLETED (so that I remember to fix errors in originals in Calibre), NonFiction and Cookbooks. The rest I leave loose.

I have over 1000 books on my Amazon cloud and it's unfortunate that I can't put these into genre collections. You have to scroll endlessly while browsing and for family members who only like scifi or only like Mysteries, it's a pain. I know what is in there, they do not.
