Yesterday I bought a Kindle Wifi because I wanted to broaden my e-reader horizons.

I am finding I really like this little e-reader. I like the collections I can make. How many collections is the limit? I know the Sony has a limit, and I like to sort my books.

Can the dictionaries be used on books that I bought elsewhere other than Amazon and converted? Say Smashwords or Carina, etc? I suppose the best way is to become more familiar with my device.

So far I love the experimental browser and I like the way the device feels. It is nice and light. and the sleep screens are cute.

Yes - you can look up words in the dictionary in any book that can be loaded & read on your Kindle.

I don't know if there is a limit to number of collections - I have almost a hundred (I do collections by author & genre & series) and still adding.

CBC calibre news recipe. I get it downloaded every day. I converted it to .mobi format for my Kindle, and auto-sent it via calibre.

I can't see anything in the documentation that says there is a limit. It's safe to assume that there is either no theoretical limit or that it's very high.

Then again, do you really want a vast number of collections? The point of collections is to make it easier to organise and find titles. You won't want to spend too much time organising the collections.

I agree. I don't want a vast number of collections. I just was curious if there was a limit, because I had heard of other readers (the T1 for instance having it). If I buy a series of books, I'd like to have all the titles in one collection, etc.

Thanks to all above for speaking to this question. I do more reading than sorting, so this is still good to know.
