Since last posting, I dropped my kindle in a bucket of water so things are kind of at a stand still...

Calibre with the Kindle Collections plugin is free. Donations are gratefully received. A very powerful tool to administer your books.

Thanks for this suggestion. I've actually had alot of trouble with Kindlean crashing and throwing up unknown error pages. I've downloaded thie Kindle Collections plugin but it only recognises 37 of my 1472 files. My files are mostlly personal documents - either .txt or mobi with some books downloaded from Amazon.

Any ideas why this might be happening?

On the plus side, I contacted Amazon about my Kindle I dropped in the bucket of water and they sold me a new one for a cheaper price and is apparently an 'upgraded kindle'. (????) I had removed the battery and put it in a container with rice for a week but it's still dead as a doornail.

Have you read the first post in this thread?

I followed the spoilers in order, and it worked beautifully for me.

Meme has done a fantastic job of documenting this tool.

Hi this is probably in the wrong place but I couldn't work out where to put it.

I have 433 authors listed in Calibre but when I 'save to disk' to make a backup, there are 4 extra. There were 6 extra but I was able to find those. Anyone got a suggestion for a quick way to find the offending extras? I've gone through the list over and over and can't find them.

Probably best to post that query in the Calibre forum -

Thanks for the link. I was going to be asking for that sometime soon. ;-)

I'm working on two Kindle Keyboards, call them 3Ga and 3Gb. Using Collection Manager on 3Gb, I renamed all my collections with a leading underscore as recommended, and moved around all the books the way I wanted them. Everything was beautiful. Instead of doing the same thing on 3Ga, I tried loading the collections from 3Gb. I got a mix of collections with and without underscores, and there were some missing. I deleted all collections from 3Ga. I did a Sync & Check for Items on 3Gb, and tried again. Same results. I deleted all collections from 3Ga again. I restarted 3Gb, then did another Sync & Check for Items and tried loading collections one more time. Same results. I gave up and redid 3Ga manually using Collection Manager. But... it SHOULD have worked, shouldn't it? Did I do something wrong?

Thanks in advance.
