Calibre can't create collections on newer Kindle models (unless they're jailbroken).

How were these books transferred to your old Kindle? If these books were just USB-sideloaded using Calibre, then sorry, you need to create the collections manually on your PW4.

If the books were purchased and downloaded from Amazon or Amazon's cloud (via send/email to Kindle), then it's possible to sync Amazon Cloud Collections.

Can't jailbreak the current shipping PW4 (5.10.3) anymore (we have a copy of the factory but the ;installHtml and ;merchant vulnerabilities have been patched). Last jailbreakable PW4 was 5.10.1.3.
