				How to unlock "collections" or at least install an alternative via Jailbreak?
			 
			
			I bought and repaired an old Kindle 3 from a junkshop but it seems to be blacklisted. Registration isn't allowed. So I cant create folders and I cant even archive anything. My kindle is already jailbroken so I have that option. Can you guys recommend me a patch that would finally let me organize my books into folders? |

			You won't find anyone on here helping you to bypass a blacklisted Kindle to be able to fully use it. The Kindle you bought should never have been sold.

 Also, I know that register bypass exists on this forum. Its just that Im a newbie thats scared of bricking my device and is seeking advice from better people. If an old post doesnt explicitly say "allowed for Kindle 3" I dont install it. Last edited by PaigheTurn; 01-10-2024 at 07:45 PM. Reason: clarification of research | |

			Back in old days when I was too lazy to manually create 50+ author-based collections I used to run some CLI program that scanned storage on connected Kindle Keyboard and then replaced /system/collections.json with custom one based on subfolders it discovered in /documents. I can't remember the name of this tool, but you may try some variants listed here. Last edited by bugmen00t; 01-12-2024 at 11:44 AM. |

			@bugmen00t Thanks for actually replying respectfully. I did the research from your URL and was finally able to organize all my books.
