Virtual library question
If I understand correctly, a Virtual Library is a subset of the books in the current library.

I have a library for Amazon books, one for Amazon free Mobipocket MOBI books, one for Mobipocket AZW3 books, one for Feedbooks books, and one for Baen books. Is there a way to create a virtual library of books that are installed on my Kindle PW that would include books from the various libaries? in effect, a superset of books, instead of a subset?

That would come in handy for cases when I need to reset and reinstall the books that I might want to read. (yeah, I know I keep too many books on the device, but there it is...)

Thanks!

Not directly.
A VL can not span separate Libraries. As you noted. A VL is a Subset

Why not create a single library that combines your existing Amazon . . ., and Baen libraries using the copy to library feature. Creating equivalent Virtual libraries as part of the process.

Then you can see what books are on a device irrespective of which VL's they happen to be members of - a book can be in multiple VLs.
