Managing collections on my Paperwhite?

unabatedshagie · 07-27-2015, 08:22 AM

I'm 99.9999% sure I can't but on the off chance I missed something is there any way of managing collections with Calibre on my Kindle Paperwhite running firmware 5.6.1.0.6 (2588930001)?

Kindle Collections PI?

Yes, the Kindle Collections plugin is your friend. But note the references there to LibrarianSync/Collections Manager -- you need to be jailbroken in order to import collections from the plugin to the Kindle framework.

For more information, see the relevant threads in the Kindle Developer's Corner subforum.

From what I've been reading jailbreaking 5.6.1.0.6 requires modifying the hardware (which I'm not fine with) and collection manager doesn't work with that version of the firmware.

I was just asking here in case there was something I've missed which is why I said I'm 99.9999% sure I can't.
