![]() You can add as many books to a collection as you want and they're instantly organized on the device when you sync it with Calibre. Unless you're handy with a soldering iron, you can no longer jailbreak a Kindle.Ĭalibre, otoh, easily generates automatic collections on all Kobo's with a plug-in, using the tags column in Calibre. which it's (just about) impossible to do since Amazon killed the ability to automate the process without jailbreaking AND Amazon has been waging war with jailbreakers for the last 5 years or so. That's assuming, of course, that you can create a collection containing a large number of sideloaded books. Amazon has made it virtually impossible to organize sideloaded books into collections there's (another) persistent bug in Kindle firmware which deletes the collection when it gets too large. That eliminates the indexing problem but it is still slow as molasses in processing newly loaded books. There's a trick that you can do to disable indexing on Kindle's (delete the search indexes folder and replace it with a null text file of the same name). Kobo, OTOH, takes about 45 minutes for the same task. Transferring a large library from Calibre to Kindle (Oasis, Voyage, PaperWhite, it doesn't matter) has taken me (literally) dozens of hours. ![]() When that happens, the only solution is to delete all the books you've uploaded then try again. Bugs in Kindle's firmware cause books to become stuck when it's indexing and it's not easy, at all, to even determine when it has occurred, much less the book that's causing problems. IMO, sideloaded books are the reason to only consider kobo, especially if you have a large library.
