Hi!

I'm trying to export my books in a way that allows me to easily navigate them on devices besides my Kindle. I have a custom column called "Kindle Collection", and I want to use the content of that as the folder name, so I can replicate that functionality without having to set up collections from scratch manually on a phone, for example.

Is there a way to do that? The "save to disk" preferences have "Any custom field - The lookup name of any custom field (these names begin with "#").", but I can't make sense of that text string, so I don't know whether that's what I'm looking for.

I know there are Apps you can purchase that make this superfluous, but I want to know whether there's a free way to accomplish this.
