As far as I could see the LibrarianSync has not been updated for a long time so there is no sense in trying to install it...
Expected.
Thanks for confirming.
(The 'try again' means to buy an older model Kindle, not the model you have now.)

Expected.

LibrarianSync, as far as we know, is not firmware or model specific.

If you want collection management other than what Amazon provides, LibrarianSync is what you need.
Keep in mind, it is a python script and requires that you also install python.

What I think is the easiest way to use it, is to create a directory tree under /documents to represent the collection & document structure and then let LibrarianSync convert that into collection database entries.

Note:
The stock reader has a 'flat earth' view of the /documents directory.
I.E: It does not interpret the directory structure, only the collections database.

KOreader DOES interpret the directory structure, and ignores the collections database.

So using Librarian Sync to create the same logical information in the collections database makes things appear with the same organization in both readers.
