can't create new collections on T1
Hi, I just got a T1 as few days ago I have used Calibre to load it up with a bunch of books and collections. Now when I try to create a new collection on the reader itself, I get the following error: "Error: New collection cannot be created since the created collections have reached the limit. Please delete unnecessary created collections.". I have already deleted dozens of existing collections to see if I can get below whatever the limit is yet I still get this error, adding new collections via Calibre still works fine though. Anyone know how I can resolve this?
Thanks |

From what others have posted, collections can't be made on the reader itself, nor can you delete from the collections from the reader itself.

I have created collections on my mom's reader after transferring from calibre. I don't have calibre manage them though. Collections are created when I transfer from calibre, but I don't sync it so to speak. Is that the reason?

I can create collections in the T1 (I've already done it). I haven't tried to delete them yet. I have sent some books (creating collections) from calibre and I've directly downloaded from Sony, Philadelphia Free Library and Kobo, and I've added to collections created by me.
I think that you can't manage in the device the collections you create with the Reader in your computer. |

Terisa, you said what I should have been more clear about in the last sentence.
Sorry for the confusion. However, have any of you been able to delete single books from a collection or you simply deleted the whole collection from the reader itself? I use Calibre for my collections and they go onto the reader, however, I was not able to delete individual books or change my collections on the reader itself, without the aide of computers. |

That is extremely wrong information! You most certainly can create collections on the reader. As for deleting them, it depends on how they were created. If on the reader itself - yes. If done on the Reader for PC and then synced to the device - no.

Also you can delete in the device the collections that were created in calibre.

I can both delete and rename collections from the Reader itself, it is just when trying to create a new collection that I get my error.

Well, I've just removed and added an ebook to an existing collection without problem.

The order? I don't understand. Do you mean if the collections keep the order you've defined after leaving the collection instead of going to back to the default order? Yes, it keeps your order. I know because it drove me nuts at the 350 (till I fixed it at the PRS - no standard feature, coded by myself).

With Reader Library, I can change the order the books appear in the collections on my 650. So if I have a series, I can put the book in series order or I can put books in the order I plan to read them.
Can I do this on the T1. |

you can sort a collection by added order - date -title - author or file name.. just list your collection and tap the sort icon at the top rhs.of the screen, you can also freely add, delete, rename collections on the T1 again I ask why anybody would want to SYNC the device either with calibre or (shudder) the PC reader software? you loose control over stuff and its just as easy to do things the old fashioned way
