I only have a Kindle Touch, and the collections plug-in doesn't work on it. But I'll do some research and see if I can write something Dan can test for me. He has a K4, and I believe the plug-in works for his device. @Anon, Calibre isn't for everyone. If you're managing your books just fine on your Kindle then you may not need it. However, lots of people own multiple devices or buy from multiple e-book stores. Managing your collection under those circumstances can get more difficult. Hence, Calibre is a great solution. If I only had a Kindle, only bought from Amazon and only used the Kindle app, I probably wouldn't need it. However, that situation doesn't apply to me or to many other readers. One of the commentors on the KindleBoards thread I set up for this series finds that the Manage Your Kindle page is all the organizations she needs. Some of us apparently have a need to make things more complicated. ;) Xendula, I’ll give it a shot, but Dan’s going to have to test it for me.

I don't understand why it's a big deal (to warrant multi postings). I have a kindle, it manages my books just fine so why would I want or need to go through the hassle of learning and using this program?
