Solved the Organization issue for large eBook libraries with ezPDF Reader

[Stacey Jo]

I got my Fire last week for Christmas and was really not happy to discover that I no longer had the ability to organize my vast ebook library (I have around 600 eBooks) into collections like on my K3. I freely admit to the little bit of OCD that I have when it comes to my bookshelves. I am ADD and my life is always somewhat disorganized but the one place where things are kept in order to the point of being anal is my bookshelves so you can imagine how I was going nuts over the state of my books in the last week. But I solved the problem! In talking to some other Fire owners, I know they were wanting a solution too, so here it is:

This of course only works when your books are in PDF format but if you have Calibre you could convert to PDF if you wanted to go this route. You need the ezPDF Reader Pro app on your Fire which I think I paid $2.99? Supposedly you can transfer stuff via wifi but it's cranky and doesn't work very well. I got the first couple of books to transfer fine but after that it wouldn't work anymore. The books showed in My Documents but when I went to the app to transfer them out of My Documents and into the app, they weren't there. GRRRR!!! I finally gave up in total frustration and just hooked the Fire up to my laptop (where all my ebooks are store anyway) and went to the directory and transferred my books from my computer to the file directory on ez PDF Reader. You can very easily create subfiles within the ez PDF Reader directory so you can now have your collections that you use to have on the K3. And the ezPDF Reader programs is a pretty decent PDF reader program where you can do fancy things with the fonts and within that program, you can select Voice Reading so if you were like me and put up with the computer voice on the old Kindle and let it read to you, you can now have the Fire read to you. I'll warn you though, it does an even poorer job than the K3 did on the voice reading though.

I was pretty vague here. It's pretty basic computer stuff but if anyone has any questions about what I did, just let me know.
