Collections
Is there any way to incorporate the Kindle Collection feature into Calibre? Or is there a way to set up collections within Calibre?
I'm not talking about the Series facility rather categorizing books as Biography, Poetry, Humour etc.

You can categorize and sort your books in Calibre in many different ways. Tags, custom columns (for example, genre column), virtual libraries, saved searches. What you can't do is transfer your Kindle collections to Calibre. The Kindle database is not accessible to Calibre.

Some other ereader brands integrate well with Calibre collections. Kobo and Pocketbook, to name two. But not Kindles.

There IS a Kindle Collections Plugin.

This is the (partial) note about Kindle Models

Because of changes in how collections are managed on newer devices, on the Kindle Touch, PaperWhite, PaperWhite 2, Basic, Voyage, PaperWhite 3, Oasis, Basic 2, Oasis 2, PaperWhite 4 & Basic 3, this plugin MUST be used in tandem with a third-party tool

I recall a possibly outdated plugin that may be of interest:

Of course Calibre has a much more customisable categorization system than Collections

In order to use the plugin, the Kindle must be jailbroken.
