Thank you for your reply HarryT. The problem is that I have such a ridiculous number of books from Amazon that I don't even know where to begin sorting through them and downloading the books to my Calibre library.
At one point I was at least sorting them into Kindle4PC book shelves, but then that got all messed up - I'm not even sure how, maybe an update - and I ended up having a mix of book shelves from my Kindle4PC and my Kindle Keyboard. It is such a huge mess with same and similarly named shelves with different books in them. I just gave up years ago, and it's only gotten much worse since then.
There used to be a way to hide certain books but not completely delete them from your account - I think it was a 'trash' feature - that is no longer available. Something like that would be helpful in sorting out books that I don't think I'll read, but I don't want to permanently delete in case I change my mind and want to read them in the future.
I wish the online Amazon's My Kindle Content was easier to use, sort and organize.
Of course this is all my own fault for buying way too many free books. There are so many that are absolutely terrible, but I've also found some gems that way that I never would have tried otherwise... so that kept me accumulating them.
