The KDX Collection Generator application is a command line and graphical user interface tool for generating Kindle book collections from a directory tree containing e-books. The collection names reflect multi-level organisation, as they are generated according to the directory tree. This program has only been tested using GNU/Linux, and Mac OSX.

Usage

1. Connect your Kindle to this computer. If the device is not detected automatically, mount your Kindle manually.
2. Select the Kindle device by clicking on the 'Open Kindle' button.
3. Opening a Kindle device automatically generates the collection by reading the contents of the documents sub-directory. If this is successful, a collection browser will replace this help message.
4. Saving the collection:
   
   • Click the 'Save to Kindle' button to save the collection directly to the Kindle device. This will first backup existing collections.
   • Click the 'Save as file' button to save the collection to a file of your choosing.

Activating the new collection

1. Close this application.
2. Safely unmount the Kindle device.
3. Restart the Kindle device. Please refer to your Kindle user manual on how to restart. After restarting the Kindle, building the collection takes a few minutes depending on the number of ebooks in the Kindle.
