While I can understand the 'effort' comment on the K4, anywhere else, it's pretty much: unzip, eject, press button. Voilà. (Remember: the JB on (most) Kindle is *one* single file sitting there being useful on your device . Woohoo!).

That said, not going in blind is always a good thing, so let's agree that the effort lies in reading up on the various docs .

@eschwartz: Going with CM means going with CM, there's not much we can do on that front, besides doing the work ourselves, which would mean handling the JSON & SQL ourselves, and then restarting the framework, and would also mean a permanent tiny daemon to detect changes . So, err: nope ^^. [That said, there were a few tools that successfully did part of that, but mostly revolved around building collections based on the directory structure].

As for the other way around (Kindle -> Calibre), the incremental update support pretty much relies on not being run twice w/ the same dataset, which cannot be assured if done automatically on plug . The fact that it would basically only save one click isn't terribly appealing either ^^

It certainly is much easier than it used to be! At least, I remember it being harder (and I've never had a K4). I've JB'd Keyboards, Touches and PWs.

I then manually created the Song of Ice and Fire collection folder and put the books into it using the paperwhite collection function.

It's a bit tedious but it does work.
You can use the metadata plugin board for this (renaming files). So just put the serie names in the series column and put this in the metadata plugin board:

any format / any device and output fild title:
{series}{series_index:0>2s| – | – }{title}
