Move books to a Collection without Calibre?

KDA1 · 02-08-2012, 11:34 PM

Will someone please tell me how to move a book to a specific Collection on my Kindle 4 NT without using Calibre? Yes, I assume it's done locally.

It would be easier and faster for me to add a book to a Collection without having to reset my Kindle or manage my collection content with Calibre.

This is a Kindle forum type question.
On the Home Menu, select the book, IIRC (My wife has the K4NT) hit the Menu again. You should see a add to collection item (existing collections).
New collections are created from the home level menu

I should've mentioned I know how to do that one.

It's too slow when you have a whole lot of books to put into collections.

I want to be able to do it while connected to the USB cord and opening and working within the Kindle folders themselves.

Others here with Kindle 4s make their collections using Kindle for PC and and then import them to their Kindle. See this thread for more information.

Thank you but I only run Linux. Perhaps there's a version for Linux?

Perhaps you would have better luck getting an answer if you ask this question in the Kindle Forum.
