KOA2 [Help] Epub Organization Questions

jp12323 · 03-24-2021, 11:08 PM

Hey guys,

I have struggled with organization on the kindle & management with calibre.

I have only epubs in my Calibre libraries, with 1 library dedicated to Wuxia/Web Novels, 1 library for published fiction, 1 for nonfiction, and 1 for fanfics. All epub files

I want to make it so that there is one folder for each library, so I can search in KOReader within a specific folder for a book.

So I have the following questions:
Are collections only for non epub files? Like if I only have epub files on the kindle, I won't be able to use Librarian Sync & Kindle Collections plugin for Calibre. Is that correct?

If not, then is "Rebuild collections (calibre plugin) supposed to take more than an hour? I stopped it because I thought it wasn't doing anything

If collections are incompatible with epubs, is there a way to sync with calibre maintaining a folder per Calibre Library?

Like if I add a book in Calibre Library Wuxia, and a book to Calibre Library Fiction, and then plug in my kindle to the pc, would there be a way to have it update each respective folder with the new addition(s)?

If anyone can help me understand collections/answer my questions above, that would really be appreciated

Collections are completely orthogonal to ePubs/KOReader, yes.

And, no, running a LS rebuild should take a sensible amount of time, check your KUAL log, or run the script in a shell to see what's crashing.
