Hello:

I'm considering to buy a Kindle paperwhite 4 (Nov 2018) with 32Gb Digital Storage Capacity, and I have some questions regarding managing Collection data with Calibre.

I understand that Calibre can sync to Kindle the title, author and series metadata directly from Calibre library.

However, I believe that there is no direct interface to sync Calibre's collection data with Kindle/Amazon Collections.

However, as a an alterantive solution: Is it possible to sync Calibre's tags to the Kindle and then search on the Kindle device using tags?

It would be very easy to add Calibre collection data to the ebooks tags and, specially so for large libraries, it would simplify the metadata sync process.

Or is there already another alternative method for Calibre collection sync with Kindle paperwhite 4?

Awaiting your kind reply,

[INCANUS]
