This tool is really for people wanting to scrape on a massive scale. What I do like is the number of preprogrammed options to scrape which makes it easy to start and learn about web scraping. The free version can only scrape 100 rows of data.

I will start with the two biggest differences compared to the previous tool: it is a softwarepackage to use on your PC or laptop and to use its full potential it will cost you 75 USD. I like it because of the fact it shows a clear overview of all the scrapers you have active and you can scrape multiple URLs at once. It is a more sophisticated tool compared to Kimono. By following their easy step-by-step plan you select the data you want to scrape and the tool does the rest.
Import.io is a browser based web scraping tool. The disadvantage of this tool is the fact you can’t upload multiple URLs at once. I like the facts that their learning curve is not that steep and it doesn’t look like you need a PHD in engineering to use their software. Once you have pointed out the data you need, you can set how often and when you want the data to be collected. Kimono has two easy ways to scrape specific URLs: just paste the URL into their website or use their bookmark. – Click here to download the example script.
If you are not used to creating Xpath references, use the Scraper for Chrome plugin by selecting the data point and see the Xpath reference directly. Since it is PHP, use a cronjob to hourly, daily or weekly scrape the desired data. I’m not going to explain how this function works, but with the script below you can easily scrape a list of URLs. This plugin is really basic but does the job it is build for: fast and easy screen scraping. You can select a specific data point, a price, a rating etc and then use your browser menu: click Scrape Similar and you will get multiple options to export or copy your data to Excel or Google Docs. Scraper is a simple data mining extension for Google Chrome™ that is useful for online research when you need to quickly analyze data in spreadsheet form. Just a short disclaimer: use these tools on your own risk! Scraping websites could generate high numbers of pageviews and with that, using bandwidth from the website you are scraping. I even have some cases it is costing to much time to create and run database queries and my personal build PHP scraper is faster so I just wanted to share some tools that could be helpful. It integrates very well with Calibre.I’ve been creating a lot of (data driven) creative content lately and one of the things I like to do is gathering as much data as I can from public sources.

Given that you cannot stand the Kindle firmware, I will suggest you go for a Kobo that has many more options for eBook management and especially has very good series management.

Get over it and go learn how to use your Kindle.
The only way that would happen is if you had incorrect metadata. I've never seen the book list where books get mixed up. It's your fault for picking a book thinking it was a different book.

Your problem is USER ERROR! It has nothing to do with the software on your Kindle. I'll just settle reading all the series that I neatly have ordered by filename, in a seemingly random order.

Not likely I am installing Calibre, moving all the books from the kindle back to my pc, and learn how to use the wildcards to update the metadata for that before copying them over again. Really comforting to notice that in 8 years time they couldn't be disturbed to frigging add a "sort by file name" function! That is just stupid to a whole new order of magnitude. I then found this thread which is EIGHT YEARS OLD, and I had my "ooohhh" moment after suspecting that already. I was already set to "recent", and trying "author" and "title" helped nothing. I then proceeded to try and see if I could order (or rather, sort) by file name, and no, you can't. I then checkd if the file names were botched, but instead they are corretly named "author - order number - title". I am reading the Dresden Files, and after reaching half of the "second" book (or rather what I THOUGHT was the second book of the series), I found out that I actually had read the sixth book for starters (" Blood rites"), and I am currently reading the twelfth book (" Changes").
