I've just jailbroken my KT4 Kindle (running 5.13.6), & successfully installed KUAL etc. (Many thanks to all the brilliant people who make that possible.)

I've sideloaded all my books via Calibre, and set up Collections via Kindle Collections & Librarian Sync. So everything is working well & showing up in the right places on the Kindle EXCEPT - I can't Add a Collection on the Kindle, and I can't Add/Delete a book from a Collection (options are greyed out). This matters on a regular basis because when I've read a new book for the first time, I've been in the habit of adding it to my Read collection on the Kindle. That way I can keep track of what I need to update in Calibre and GoodReads.

I haven't registered my Kindle at all nor turned on wi-fi because I really really don't want firmware updates as I think they will break the jailbreak. If that is causing my problem, is there any way round it?

Thanks.
