Anyway to get Sub-Collections if not suggestions to manage library?

kerbis · 11-27-2016, 02:47 PM

I have searched around a little bit but I can't seem to find something that works for that function. I have looked at LibrarianSync thread and it seems sub-collections don't work in LibrarianSync since an earlier firmware. Collection Manager isn't really usable because the screen does not refresh when running it . Some of the ui refreshes for the button if I press around and press where the button is at. The names of things don't show up at all.

PW3 5.7.4 firmware

I would like to be able to create something like a Textbook collection with subject sub collections and make it hidden from home if possible.

I'm not sure how to organize a library on the paperwhite without it. It seems really messy to keep a few hundred books on it with the organization available standard.

Tell Amazon, we can't do anything about nested collections.

They re-purposed the database field previously used to indicate a nested collection to now indicate "on cloud" items.
Their design change, not ours.

ahh I see. I had a little hope that something may have been figured out since the post I had read where the functionality wasn't working anymore.

Amazon sure likes their stranglehold. I will figure something out. Thank you.
