Hi,
I just got librariansync working on a brand new PW5 (paperwhite 2021 signature edition bought during this 2023 BF. it's so new a new device ID needed to be added for it in kindletool. Thanks NiLuJe!!)
;tldr it all just works with one missing autodetect feature and a key "install python 2.7 pacakge on kindle" support step (step 3 below) needed.
basically do the following.
1. on the Calibre side, install Kindle Collections, do the QT6 patch if you plan to use the manual edit function (otherwise ignore it. look at the last few pages of the extension page for the patch)
2. the autodetect feature of Kindle Collections will fail when you do the "Setup" step. just select something. I used the paperwhite setting and it works
3. on the kindle side, install the librarian sync (using mrpi) *AND* the python 2.7 PW5 package from the snapshots page. If you don't install python, librariansync will just keep failing *silently* over and over again.
4. done. if you have synced the collections in calibre and got the "run librariansync update on your kindle" popup message from the calibre plugin, just run that menu option on the kindle, wait a few seconds (there will be no "finised message"), tap the go back option at the bottom (the /), go to your library screen and watch all the collections show up..
original "debugging" thread and post is here btw
