Move over to the Minimum column and set it to 3 (I don’t want a collection if there are less than 3 books). Look for “Series” in the Calibre Source column and set it to “Create” in the Action column. In the pop-up window you have a table and some check box items.

To do this you need to have “Series” as one of your Calibre columns (with appropriate info filled in, of course), then you first choose the “Customize collections to create from Calibre…” option.

Next, I wanted to see if I could add book series as collections in the Kindle. I used Windows Explorer to search for and delete these files from my Kindle documents folder. jpg image files that the Kindle could not display. This gave me a text file display showing my books and collections and also warning me of 6 books that the Kindle could not read, 2 sets of duplicate books, 2 corrupted. The first thing that I tried was the “View report of Kindle collections and books” option. Look for it under the “Preferences/Get plugins to enhance Calibre” toolbar selection.

The version 0.8.6 of Calibre has a new feature to add or manage plug-ins from which you can install this collections manager. Once installed (choosing to put the plugin in “the main toolbar when device is connected”), and after restarting Calibre, this is what appears when your Kindle is plugged in. There is also some brief description of how to use it. The plugin link has a link to download and instructions on how to install the plugin in Calibre (requires Calibre version 0.8.6 or higher).

I’m using Calibre version 0.8.6 with a Kindle 3 and the “Kindle Collections” plugin version 1.70.
