i use calibre on my computer to find what i want to read and then i put about 6-12 items at the top of the /home/ list by searching specifically for each title and then clicking each one once and then sorting by recent. anyone would go insane trying to do anything more than basic searches or sorts using the kindle user interface.
i tried using collections, but since calibre doesn't support them, it proved way too much trouble. plus, they throw the book counts off. i'm very ocd and try to account for every book and if you load 276 docs and some of the book are in 4 collections, the count will say 280. i know, first world problems, but i'm that anal.
