I am a bit confused by the operation. Is there a way to put books into a collection on Calibre's side and sync them to the kindle? It seems that the plugin can create a file that then can be converted by LibrarianSync on the kindle side of things, but I was hoping for something like a Bulk Metadata modification on the Calibre side of thing and then in LibrarianSync to just update the changes. There seems to be a manual way, of putting the books into Collections on Calibre's side, and also on the Kindle's side, but I was hoping for an easier way and I guess I can't figure it out.

My end goal would be to do something like:

Is BOOK part of SERIES?
If so, create matching Collection folder in Calibre, and press button to also create appropriate folder on the kindle.

Or just a 1:1 sync type thing.
