Switching from Kobo Aura HD to Kindle Fire HDX, using Calibre... - Page 2

fierymyst · 12-04-2013, 10:11 PM

I did see it on the app store and that is why I was asking. I have never used Calibre before and mostly read amazon books from amazon, some smashwords books and then I do a lot of pdfs from indie authors.

Just got my new Kindle Fire HDX last night and didn't know about the collections on it til after I asked. That is at least something somewhat working from the collections from the original Kindle but still a pain to organize when you have over 5000 books or so. I have a lot of books to have to categorize. Would like a simpler way, had hoped having Goodreads attached would help. I just want a bookshelf based on how the books are classified on Amazon.. if it is romance, you can search the romance tag, etc....

Just remember Calibre Companion (CC) requires you to manage your books in calibre, then use calibre to transfer them to your device.

Ok, so probably not going to work for my current items then. Thank you. Nice screen caps, that is what I am looking for but will have to wait on Amazon I guess
