Anyway to get a Kindle PW3-2015 to Collections WITHOUT Jailbreaking?

the title says it all. I'm not comfortable with hacking my PW3. I've a LOT of books on it as well as a lot of collections. the PW3 is running 5.8.5.0.2. . With all you cool geniuses on here.. can't one of you figure an easy to manage books and collections on a newer kindle without jailbreaking it??

also side note.. one of my collections (btw 98% of all my books are side loaded) designated by the Author's non series books.. whenever I disconnect from the computer or calibre.. one book drops out. (the collection has 15 books. yet after I unplug it.. it becomes 14) The book is still on the kindle just not in the collection. Weird rt?

any help with either issue?

Rob

Sorry I was hoping I might get a reply on this.
Any easier way to manage collections without Jailbreaking?? Right now I'm using a plugboard entry which set up the files to put into a collection (again.. 99% of my books are side loaded onto the Kindle Pw3-2015) Makes it a little easier but I still have a lot of collections (usually by author or series name (ex: The Well World has all of Jack L Chalker's Well World books)
Thanks again

The geniuses found a workaround for collections I.e jailbreak.

nice geniuses. But evidently before the change from Amazon.. it was possible to organize collections without jailbreaking. I know since the newer firmware that has changed. But I've got a bad habit of somehow bricking things.. and I really don't want to risk "ëffing"it up. So why not some new software that can figure out exactly what Amazon did do?

Or you could persuade Amazon to improve their software. I tend to just vote with my money and buy the product that meets my needs 😀
