i meant 2gb free. which i think would be the case with his 4gb machine. barely. and even then it wouldn't be fun and calibre would take forever to do any bulk operations. the one i installed it on had either 16gb or 64gb and ubuntu 14.x ran very nicely.

Nope, I am old, and I read around 3 books a day, but I never plan to read all 400K books. Some are cookbooks, some diy, everything you can think of. But they are all sorted by either author for novels, or subject so when I want to read something, I can find it easily. I have about 2k books on my Voyage and some of them I have read 20 times. But the point is, it should be easy peasy to put whatever book I want on any Kindle I want it on. And if readers were designing these things, I could. These guys think if somebody has ten novels, that's a lot, so what is the problem?

I can verify that my Chrome here, with several hundred tabs open with all sorts of stuff in them, is using less than 3GiB RAM. Thus I conclude that your argument is wrong: 4GiB is likely to be enough for most uses and 2GiB is probably fine for light use. (This does depend to some degree on ARM versus x86 Chromebook and also on what's running in the tabs and what extensions you have: Adblock Plus is a horrific memory hog, for instance, and you can often halve your browser memory usage by just switching to uBlock. I'm doing perfectly well here on 4GiB with Chrome with lots of tabs and flipping *Emacs* running.) |

We can not jailbreak the current update (5.9.2). But we can jailbreak the firmware version they have installed when they ship. So if you want to jail break the device, when you get it, use the OTA blocking directory name on it so that it does not update on you. The blocker directory is named: update.bin.tmp.partial Use that exact name, no additional extension. |

I could be in the minority, but I really like the way collections are handled. Perhaps I don't need to drill down too far - I file by genre and then go to what every collection I'm in the mood for - Detective and mystery, Non-Fict, European Lit, Eng Lit, whatever.... Works for me : )
Home page is list of collections - 4 pages of them. Great now it is cloud and synch across devices. I remember the hours it used to take to arrange collections on a new device. Now, fire up, and they're there. |

Would nested collections make any sense? Collections are tags, remember, not folders; their whole point really is that you can apply multiple tags to a book, so you could tag a book as "Mystery", "Favourites" and "Hercule Poirot", for example. I'm not really sure what a nested collection would physically mean.

That seems to me to defeat the whole purpose of tags. To me, a book about the history of the USA should be tagged "History" and "USA", so it shows up under both categories.
