You can't attach files so you'll have to PM a link to the output.txt file somewhere. Since the file will contain all your book titles as well as collection information you probably don't want to post it here.

Where is the file saved so that I can link it? I followed your instructions, but everything just closed down. I don't know where to look.

The problem was with the Calibre Library. I deleted the Calibre Library Metadata file. Created a new library and then imported the books from the old library into the new one and immediately things worked. Just hope it helps someone else.

I had used the Calibre Utility to check the database integrity but that never found anything wrong.

Anyway all is working well and she has access to her 1800 odd books correctly saved in collections on her Kindle.

I have an odd situation with a friend who is using the same version of Calibre as I am and the same version of Kindle Collections but when I transfer my books and run the Kindle Collections I get my authors listed properly and with the individual books listed inside the Authors name but when she does the same thing, each book is listed as a separate collection.

I have reinstalled Calibre, downloaded the current version of the Kindle Collections and installed both and rechecked that we have identical settings. We are both using Windows 7.

I have had her laptop sitting beside mine to compare so I am sure we are using the same settings. Please, can anyone help?

Hi,

I'm loving this plugin, it works wonderfully for organising my collection. I've run into a bit of a bug though. I've got a Kindle 3 which I've been putting some manga on after reformatting it for the kindle screen, and I want to put this in a collection.

It worked fine when I was using the .mobi format, but the conversion to .mobi was fairly lacklustre. I swapped to using .cbz since it gives the nice full screen viewing mode, etc. I changed one of the settings in the kindle2/3 device plugin so I could use calibre to manage them.

I went to create the collections, and the collections were created, but they show as containing 0 items. I can add them manually, but there are several hundred items.

I have no problems creating collections with other file types besides .cbz.

Any ideas?

Try this version. I did not have cbz listed as a valid format for the Kindle as I haven't used it and it hasn't been mentioned before. I also added some audio formats to help with a previous issue with audio books not going into collections. I haven't had a chance to download cbz or audio files yet, so let me know how it goes with cbz.

As a test version, you'll need to download the zip file and use Load Plugin From File from Preferences->Calibre (do not unzip the zip file).

Worked perfectly! Thank you very much.

Hi,

I used the plugin to create collections on the Kindle 3 via Caliber and that worked great, so now I can see and sort by collections on the main screen. However, if I read a book within a collection and that collection does show up top on the main page, when I open the same collection again, the book that I was reading doesn't show on top even though within the collection, I have sorted by Most Recent First. My books are in Chinese, but that shouldn't be an issue, right?

Thanks!

Great, thanks for confirming. I'll check audio books before updating the official version.

Are you sorting the collection itself by Most Recent as well as the Home screen? You can sort both the Home Screen and Collections separately. Open the collection, then go to the top line using the 5-way control and select Most Recent if it still says Author or Title.

Hello, and sorry for the noob question but I can't find the plugin in Calibre. I'm pretty sure I've installed it (checked installed plugins) but...where is it??

It should show up on your toolbar once the device is connected.

Hi Meme,

The Home Screen is sorted by Collections while the collection I was reading is sorted by Most Recent. But the book within that collection doesn't show up first.

Vaesse · 08-05-2011, 11:33 AM

I didn't know you could change the sort within the collection. Thanks for mentioning it, meme. I actually went the other way (from most recent to title) so I don't have to search for the next book in the series. And this is why I keep reading here (finding answers to questions I didn't know I had).

Hmm, works for me. After setting up collections to Most Recent, I open a book second or third in the list, go back to home, reopen the collection and its now first in the list. This has nothing to do with the plugin, just a feature of the Kindle so I don't know what's causing it to be different for you.

Sorry to barge in here, but I just had a major "fit" of strange K3 behaviour with auto registering my last "page read", and pressing the back button just sent me back chapter wise, NOT to the home page.
(Wifi/3G always turned off here, unless I want otherwise .. )

Is your K's clock up2date ?
If not this can really screw K3 up, sigh ....
Brgds per
