Kindlian for Windows

User Reviews

• Works on PC only - not on actual Kindle

  Martin HarranFebruary 3, 2018

  Pros

  Offers less functionality than that Calibre which is free but new users may find its interface more user-friendly than Calibre for basic functions.

  Cons

  Be wary of the latest version of this application, it claims to be compatible with all versions of Kindle and it is in terms of being able to manage collections ON YOUR PC but you cannot save those collections back to the Kindle which all seems rather pointless. They do admit this in their FAQ but it is not obvious in their marketing blurb. " Are collections synced between PC and Kindle? No, because Amazon doesn't let third party software to access the collections file. But the idea is that with the help of Kindlian you can keep your library on PC and organize books into collections only on PC. And on Kindle you can leave a couple of books that you read now, so you don't need collections on Kindle." Don't need collections on Kindle? That is a rubbish statement.

  Summary

  A waste of time, just glad I tried it before I paid for it, even the $5 upgrade from a previous version I bought that turned out to be totally useless on anyhing other than the earliest versions of Kindle.

  Pros

  it installed on the pc ok, then trashed my kindle

  Cons

  It is dangerous

  Summary

  I WOULD GIVE THIS -5 IF I COULD. After loading and installing on my pc it asked me to connect the kindle. then it asked me to reset the kindle. I tried this but after an hour it had not reset . Eventually when came back from 'the boy under a tree' icon. It displayed a 'your kindle needs repair' sign. I am SO annoyed - don't use this , you have been warned !!

• Limits on Books.

  LaiseyJanuary 26, 2012

  Pros

  Unable to open - too many books on Kindle

  Cons

  Limits number of books allowed on Kindle to 100 Took quite a time to install

  Summary

  Sadly if, like most people, you have anywhere approaching an extensive library of Kindle books, this program will be useless to you. It will only function if the device contains less than 100 items, and will ask you to delete some books or buy the paid version. It uninstalls quickly, mind!
