Kindle Voyager on reading and organizing fanfic

[mremre.livejournal.com]

My Sony T1 reader isn't dead yet, but that Voyager screen looks beautifully crisp and I am so, so tempted.

Does anyone have any idea on how this latest Kindle works with fanfic? I always said I would give Kindle another chance if they had page-turn buttons and a decent catalog/tagging system.

Can the Voyager:
- load drm-free epub or mobi via calibre?
- load personal epubs (aka fanfic) via calibre?
- organize into categories (ideally from calibre) or am I going to end up with a giant alpha list of every fic?

If you have a Voyager, please help! The FAQs on Amazon don't really cover the cloud collections thing (or at least I couldn't find it)

Umm I don't have the Voyage, but on my Kindle Paperwhite you can upload fic. I usually just d/l the mobi version from Archive Of Our Own, but you can upload from calibre as well

And you can set up any categories you like to organise your books or fan fic into :)

When setting up categories on your Kindle, how many taps does it take? Do you have to go to each book, assign a category individually? Is there some mass change option?

When downloading AO3 mobis, do you get to assign categories as they appear, or does the Kindle pick up AO3 tags as categories?

I don't have the Voyager either (price too high for me at the moment), but the functionality of files should work the same as prior Kindles.

- load drm-free epub or mobi via calibre?

Mobi, yes. Epub, no.

- load personal epubs (aka fanfic) via calibre?

Mobi, not Epub. (But you can easily just convert them in Calibre)

- organize into categories (ideally from calibre) or am I going to end up with a giant alpha list of every fic?

There is a hack to make Calibre folders be your Kindle collections, but it's easier to just do it on the device and then they're saved to your Cloud collections. I have about...80 collections on my Kindle (10 are fanfic related).

If I use the device to manage collections, am I going to have to assign categories/collections on a fic-by-fic/book-by-book basis? The heart quails at having to reassign my fic library: +1000 in ~100 categories, several in multiple categories.... over and above my actual book collections. Maybe I still won't be getting that lovely clear screen. SIGH.

You could take a look at the plugin (http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=244202), which might work...but you'd have to jailbreak your device.

I think they are still selling the Sony PRS-T3. There is a thread at mobile read that discusses places you can buy them at. Not sure about the screen comparisons but from what I gathered from reading at mobile read forums, the collections on the Kindle just aren't as easy to manage as what you have on the Sony device. It's one of the reasons I'm still using a Sony book reader.

I believe there are Voyager reviews at http://www.mobileread.com/ and someone there may be able to answer your question about the collections and how they are handled and what plugins can help make it easier.

If I had a Kindle, I'd answer but I'm also in the dark in terms of how the Kindle Voyager deals with collections.

EDIT: Most of my collection knowledge for the Kindle comes from what I've read about other versions of the Kindle, not the Voyager.

Hi!
We've started developing new digital library, at this moment it looks a bit messy, but we've just launched and working on upgrades, so in case you're interested, you can visit it hear http://8files.com/
Currently really a lot of different papers and ebooks, but without latest fiction, category Fiction is not ready yet.
