Lol, needing to go to the PC in order to find/browse for stuff to read is a sure-fire recipe for me not using the Kindle.
That said, I recently messed around again with Calibre-PHP server (by chaley) and I finally got a layout/view that plays nicer with the PW3's experimental browser. I've been mostly using that to download books on-demand.

Lol, I traded in a perfectly working PW3 with stock fw5.9.x just so I could get a jailbreakable PW3 for Calibre collections support. Not so bad with the trade-in promo. I think I ended up paying $30-40 out of pocket. JB situation's better than stock but still not conducive to 2,000+ books. It did get me to 700+ whereas before, most I can tolerate was ~100.

Interesting. I don't believe I'm seeing this behavior on 5.8.x. If I add up collection counts, I would have 1040 docs but if I switch to Recent/Title/Author sort instead of Collections, it says 775 which sounds about right.
