This tool lets you maintain a list of files that constitute a collection and generate all the collections by running one command. Source code included.

Very interesting idea, thank you for your efforts!

I wonder is there a way to append collection data or get the list from whats on the sony reader already?

From what i can see you build up your list from a list of titles you enter manually in the ini file, is there anyway to get the information from calibre. For instance upload all the books with calibre and if the collection information fails... like it always does the programm can then rebuild the xml from the calibre metadata info from those books?
