Will support be added for the PW3 at all? Seems theres a jailbreak in the works so this would be great to have.

I don't see any reports that this does not already work on a PW3.
Please include a link and/or quote so we can give a proper answer.

No that's great I just didn't see anything directly saying PW3 was supported ('It probably works on other K5 devices' is a bit vague) but saw Voyage explicitly mentioned.

I see that the author hasn't logged in here for over six months.
Perhaps one of our moderators could edit that first post a bit.

Usually, the first post of a thread is authorative.

I can't seem to get the collections to work on my PW2. I've used the kindle collections plugin to create one collection with five books as a test. When I do the import in LibrarianSync I left it for 20+ minutes and it said it was still updating. Is this usual? It seems like it shouldn't take that long for such a small collection

@Bookmonkey: Forgot to install Python?

Bookmonkey · 02-07-2016, 10:36 PM

Mmm. Certainly possible. I did KUAL and MRPI. Maybe I missed that requirement. I'll check tomorrow. In the event this is not easily googleable how do I install it?

eschwartz · 02-07-2016, 10:41 PM

You install python the same way you install anything else (via MrPi). The download link is in the OP.

Turned out to be due to no Python and user error on the actual plugin! Now gotitworking and its building collections in less than one second. Much better. Thanks!

If anyone cares (as this extension doesn't hide the books included in a collection), the books can be hidden if the Filter menu on the home screen is changed from All Items/Recent to All Items/Collection, or Collections/Recent. That work at least on fw 5.6.5.

I was about to discard this extension for that only but now I really like it.

eschwartz · 02-09-2016, 07:18 PM

That has been the case in every firmware revision.

There is no "hidden" attribute on post-5.4.0 firmware, and even on the earlier firmware where there is a "hidden" attribute, the purpose/use of that attribute is completely different.

Think of Collections as Tags.
You can tag a book with a collection name -- but you still have to put the Kindle into "ignore-tagged-books" mode.

I noticed that it doesn't support *.kfx files so I modified it if anyone needs that.
