Need help with folder management Kindle - newbie
Hi, this question must have been asked multiple times but despite extensive searching i cannot find the answer. So sorry if this is a duplicate question...
Q : in my Kindle I have a folder in which i store the books that I have read. When I connect to Calibre, Calibre simply shows a list of all books on my device, not split by folder. How can I make Calibre show the folder in which the books on my device are stored ? Reason for me asking ; I want to delete the books in my 'read' folder on my kindle but I want to make a note in my library on my pc in Calibre that I have already read this book so that I don't put it back on my device by accident again. I hope my question is clear and thank you in advance for your reply. Peter |

By "folder" do you mean "collection"?
The information showing what books are in what collections is not stored in a place on the Kindle that is accessible to calibre, so calibre cannot manage Kindle collections. (I believe that there may be a workaround if your device is jailbroken and you install extra software on the Kindle itself, but I am unsure whether or not this is still possible. See this thread.) |
