Your new PW will require all collections to be done manually since Amazon protects the database from external access.

As for series? In theory my PW should have series but so far, it does not seem to have any desire to display series information for Amazon purchased books. For sideloaded books, even that option does not exist.

As someone who own a PW and multiple Kobo ereaders, the convenience of using calibre and a Kobo together is worth the extra cost.

Thank you for your response. That's what I am thinking too, saving $100 does not justify the hours and headache to try to figure out a new ecosystem, especially when collections and series are essential in my case because the search function rarely works with Unicode titles/authors.

Best regards
