You can find a sample JSON at the bottom of this page:

If you're already using Calibre, I think the Kindle Collections plugin is the easiest way to generate the collections. You can easily create collections by authors, series, tags and even custom columns. Note, the format used in /extensions/collection.json is different from the format used by the Calibre plugin in /system/collections.json.
Interesting. I would have expected nested folders to result in nested collections when collections were being built from folders. So what happens when nested folders are converted to collections?

I am using Calibre here, but I don't at present have everything in Calibre. I use Calibre in particular for converting formats, hyphenating books and removing DRM if necessary. I also used it to place books on the lost KT2 and can use it likewise with the PW4.

Until I sort out how best to organize collections I am delaying loading much content on the PW4.

Thanks again for your input in this matter.
