Feature Request: back up collections from kindle to be able to restore them onto a new kindle.

It would be nice to be able to restore a new kindle with the collections structure. Right now, I am not aware of being able to do that.

Thank you for all the great work on Calibre!!!!! I truly appreciate it.

This is not worth the effort for me personally. If some one else wants to implement it, I will be happy to supply any needed guidance. If so, re-open the ticket and we can discuss it.

Thank you for the quick response.

A brief question: do you know of any utility that will back up  kindle that includes the collections.

Again, thank you for your great work.

Eli

dont know of any utilities, IIRC with modern firmware the collections
information is no longer exposed over the USB connection.
