Collection Questions

[nynaevelan]

Ok, I tested it between two k4pc's and the collections imported correctly. I will finish this since I am down to the last 400 or so and then I will try it with the kindle 2. Hopefully it will work and I am able to import the collections into the Touch easily. I don't mind having to tweak a few but I do not want to have to start over.

I pray Meme will be able to get the plugin up and running.

I must have the same brand of OCD as you, because it's bugging the snot out of me. Importing from my K4 wasn't helpful, so I've been trying to manually re-create my most important collections: sorting them in Calibre and then checking off the matching titles on the Kindle. It's slow going - and I'm not even going to attempt the series collections.

Until I have time to rethink my organization strategy, I've put a few Calibre catalogs on my Kindle so I can at least browse lists of my items in an organized way.

That's a good idea, I am currently using an exported Excel list from Calibre trying to recreate my collections in K4pc, in order to have those collections imported onto the Touch. And yes it is slow going because k4pc doesn't have the ability to let you know those not in any collection and that constant refreshing is driving me crazy. I am seconds away from trying to figure out how to turn net access off for it.
