How to create collections?

Hello everyone. I have a PW5 blacklisted by Amazon and therefore cannot create a collection. I have JB my device with LanguageBreak, and I installed KUAL.

I also installed KOreader which can manage folders, which is ok for me but the problem is that in addition to books I have a lot of manga and comics, which I find is not suitable for reading under KOreader, the Kindle reader being more readable I would like to be able to have my collections from the basic newspaper.

I would like to know which program to use, I did my own research but I am lost between CollectionManager, Librarian, etc... I also thought I understood that I had to install Python. Can anyone help me? THANKS

PS: I'm not English and I use an automatic translator, sorry if it's poorly written.

Check this page, there're several solutions for more convenient collection management, and some of them could probably work on unregistered/non-jailbroken devices.
If your device is already jailbroken, Collections Manager along with Collections plugin for Calibre seems to be the best way.

Thank you for your answer. I tried using Collection Manager and his Calibre plugin but I can't open Collection Manager on my PW5, as if it was no longer compatible. I also tried LibrarianSync but it does not appear in KUAL, I understood that it was necessary to install Python but I don't understand how, in short I am lost

My version : 5.15.1.1

I believe you need to download Python package v0.15 from NiLuJe's hacks thread & copy one of the update_xxxxxxxx_pw2_and_up.bin files into /mrpackages folder on your Kindle (not sure which version of Python is required for plugins to work, 2.7 or 3).

If you have your device jailbroken and KUAL working, you could either do ;log mrpi search in the search field or run MR Package Installer from KUAL (assuming that you have mrinstaller, kual-plus and helper extensions in KUAL).

I installed both versions of python and collection manager does not show in the log with either one... I don't understand if I am doing something wrong or not

It seems that Collection Manager plugin doesn't work on newer devices as support for .azw2 Kindlets was dropped since FW version 5.10.

So the only option left is Librarian Sync for KUAL (installation instruction for newer devices) + Kinlde Collections plugin for Calibre (although this plugin was made with Colection Manager plugin in mind, it should work with Librarian Sync as well).

Please do not give any help with this blacklisted PW5 as it's either lost or stolen. If the OP bought it, then the OP should return it.

I do not give any advice that could help bypass the blacklist restrictions and have no such intentions. But I'm very interested in whether it's possible to use third-party tools to manage collections on recent Kindle firmware, which has something to do with the Aaa77's case.

Anyway it seems that now the best place to ask for help is dedicated thread for Librarian Sync.

That's irrelevant. There are people that are openly selling blocked Kindles and prominently explaining that they can't be used with Amazon. It's not illegal.

The Kindle is not stolen. I didn't receive the package, I filed a complaint with Amazon and they refunded it to me. Two days later a honest neighbor brought me the Kindle which had been left in his garden.

I followed the instructions, python was already installed, and when I try to install the librariansync .bin with ;log mrpi the LS package is destroyed directly. Same when I try to install it at the same time as the python package

What version of Python do you have installed? Looks like it should be 2.7 and not 3. Also try to use MRInstaller from KUAL and see if the result will be the same. Maybe you could find something useful in log file?

Another possible reason is the mismatch between current PW5 firmware and .bin's FW version. You may try to manually unpack and repack LibrarianSync *.bin file with newest Kindletool and try again.
