Please note that Kindlian does not yet support firmware 5.3.7.2 or higher. I’m truly bummed as I’ve just wasted an hour trying to get it to work on my 5.6.1.0.2. Now to get a refund.

Yes, you are right, Kindlian do not support the latest version of Kindle. When we find better software, we will tell you.

I see a collection on my kindle with 65 books. This what I indend.
However, I also see those same books outside of that collection, so the point of the collection is lost !!

Hi DimaR,

What method you used? I want to do it for my Kindle keyboard.

you have to press the three dots, upper right, click your library, click sort, check collection - it will sort by collection

wasted time on kindlian … you should add a note to the info above about it not supporting newer versions

kdeasy is not allowing collection management on paperwhite despite the firmware being 5.4.3.2 …any idea why?

Thank you for posting this! I just tried method 2, using the Kindle for Mac app, with no success. I could create collections on the app, but not import them or export them back to the cloud. It seems to be only a feature for organizing Kindle content on the Mac itself. Customer service at Amazon confirmed that it was limited in this way (though no comment from them on whether or not that was an error). I’ll try another method…

I also tried this method but the collections that I created in the kindle app for mac do not show up on my kindlepaperwhite (2018), nor do they appear on the amazon website under “manage content and devices”. IT would be so much easier to manage on kindle for mac. What can I do?

It seems you are using method 2. Please create the New collections on Kindle paperwhite, not from the kindle for mac app.

If you want to create collections on Kindle for pc/mac, please try method 3.

Have a nice day.

I have a kindle paperwhite 5th generation but method 2 doesn’t work. I have no “import collections” option.

I really want to know how to get EVERYTHING into a folder, leaving my screen blank, with only folders. I hate having books sitting there. Any idea how I can do that. They are all in folders but are still also in the library…

Method 1 is what I use but to say it’s only the books you purchase from Amazon is WRONG.
Maybe involving the cloud yes but I HATE the cloud. I download books from the library or torrents. I turn off the cloud permanently and arrange my books into collections as I go. So to add another 1 to 3 books is no biggie.

Hello there,

many thanks for this very clear and smart paper about sharing Kindle collections

Sadly on my side my new Kindle Oasis does not show up in the dialog window for importing collection to Kindle for PC. I do use last version 1.17.1 on Windows 10.

Is there an issue on my side? I just would like to import my Kindle Oasis collection on my laptop.

Thanks

I can’t make method 3 (Kindlian) work. I have a paperwhite 3. I download and run Kindlian. I select “Paperwhite 3” as my device type. The popup that you show comes up (disconnect kindle, tap settings, tap update your device, press ok). I disconnect my kindle, press settings - there is no “update your kindle” option. I can tap “device options” and get a menu that includes “update your kindle” but it is greyed out and cannot be selected. I believe that “update your kindle” is only available if there is a new bin file in the home device directory. I know that is the case with actual kindle manual updates - you download the bin file from Amazon, copy them into the kindle home directory, and then and only then will the “update your Kindle” option become active.
In your (and the kindlian program) instructions, how are you supposed to select “update your Kindle”???? And while I’m at it, since you are instructed to disconnect your kindle, even if you managed to select “update your kindle”, what in the world would pressing “ok” do? (Maybe it then tells you to reconnect it or something???)
So, did you actually perform the Kindlian installation? Does it not work on Paperwhite 3’s ??? Was a step left out of your instructions? Please clarify.

Re:Jim Hawley

Yes, I’m having the same problem.
Kindlian tech support said that the latest (?) firmware - I have 5.8.9.2 (May 2017) - has closed off 3rd-party access to the Kindle.

I really don’t understand why Amazon is making it so difficult to manage the content we buy from them. The Kindle interface is really kludgy, despite several years of incremental developments. Managing content on their website or via the Kindle Reader app is completely useless.

They’re too lazy (or incompetent) to develop easy-to-use interfaces, so why do they care if someone else does a better job???

I’m waiting for a response from Kindlean, but I would suspect that we would have to downgrade the Kindle firmware for it to work.

I think they might also be developing a different product that can manage collections on the desktop directly, a bit like iTunes (not that iTunes has an intuitive interface either for that matter….)

Remember digital picture frames? They all could hold thousands of pictures but none had any easy method of ordering - and therefore accessing - this mass of data. Consequently, these devices have become shelfware. The need was so obvious but not one single manufacturer chose to address this critical limitation.
Now we have e-readers, most particularly Kindles. Again, able to easily contain thousands of books but after being on the market for years still offering no real method of organizing and accessing your library. In this case, they continue to be bought and used because they are sooooo convenient for reading.
I have several hundred books but I never load more than 10 to 20 at any time on my Paperwhite because I am not about to manually page through 500 books eight at time when trying to find something. That would be something on the order of 62+ pages with no organization.
I continue to be amazed that Amazon neither offers any CONVENIENT method to organize your library NOR will open the firmware to third-party developers.
This is so frustrating……. and so unnecessary. Can you possibly explain why this situation exists? Since you specialize in e-readers I thought that if anyone could explain this absurdity you could. I would REALLY appreciate a response, and I think others would as well.
Thank you.

I’m with you on this, Jim.

I looked jailbreaking my Kindle, but it is so complicated (what with having to downgrade to a relatively old firmware version) and then installing several different bits of software in just the right order) that I can’t be bothered. (I want a no-bother way of managing my content/collections, so why go to all that bother to reconfigure the software in order to do so????)

I’d be happy to ditch my Kindle device completely and buy another device from a different manufacturer if they made it simpler and more intuitive. It’s not that difficult to rip all the content onto my local disk and then upload it to a different device if necessary.

I spend $1000s on books, so an extra $100-odd for a new device ain’t going to make much difference! :)

Any ideas of non-Amazon readers that would be suitable?

5.7.4 could jailbreak, but CollectionsManager.azw2 does not support this version.
BTW, I could download “Kindle Collections.zip”plgin.

I have a Kindle Gen8 KT3 running FW 5.8.0. I downgraded it from 5.8.9 and Jail broke it. When I install Collections Manager from above, I get an message on my screen saying FW 5.8.0 is not compatible with this version of Collections Manager. Any suggestion on a newer version?

Perhaps I’m Lucky bt I have had no real problems in putting most of my kindle books (700 titles) into about 45 categories (colections)in the kindle app on my computer. I usually access the book I want to read on my computer first so that it is my current book when accessing on my tablet or phone.
The problem arises in trying to place books into my collections because the category (collections) list is in the order in which I created each category (collection)instead of Alphabetical order but I can find no way of reordering that list short of deleting the collcetions and re-creating them in alphabetical order. then I’d probably have to manually re-enter every book.
A really good addition to this ‘tool’ would be to be able to tag a number of books and then add them to a collection with juar one ‘enter / add’ command.

If you are talking of “Epubor”(https://tools.techidaily.com/epubor/ebook-manager/ ) , the management feature is totally free. If you want to remove drm with this software, you need to pay for it.

I’ve been using the Kindle Collection and it worked good until I went to Kindle Unlimited and upon returning the book it also deletes from the collection. Was very disappointed; would like to find a place where I can list all my Amazon books that I have read. Any suggestions. Thanks

I have 2 of the old Kindle Keyboard 3’s which has always suited my needs. I have always done my collections on the Kindle. I have recently noticed these can be done on the webpage, Burt when I look at the Collections on the web page, they are not showing, and there seems to be no way to synchronise from the Kindle to the web page. I could of course delete everything and start again (big sighs) and do the collections on the web page (presuming these will sync to my Kindles? Or is there a better more simple less time-consuming way?

Re: managing kindle from Amazon web site:
When I add a Test Collection in website and then Synch my iPad, it works fine and shows up in iPad collection.

However this is not true when I Synch my Kindle for PC. Nothing changes…WHY? Am I doing something wrong on my PC app.

BTW: all software is current.
