I have been using Calibre's catalog feature for my organization on the devices but it is cumbersome to maintain and use. What I would like to do instead is to use Calibre to add the genre tag to the name which Kindle displays on the device. Then I could use Kindle's search function to display books by genre.
You can use a metadata plugboard to fiddle with the title when it is sent to the book. See https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=100949 for some examples.
