I don't think the firmware has updated, and there's no particular reason why the Collections manager would have stopped working, but every time I come back here to figure it out there's just a lot of confusing stuff. I can't tell whether I have the latest version of either JB or this Plugin. Also, the thing is really clunky. Takes forever to refresh the screen or progress through a book list to assign them to collections. I think I'll probably just remove it so I don't have to keep up with this arcane thread.
You can check your kindle firmware version. I think the newest one broke the collections manager. Have you had the wifi on since the last time CM worked?

Personally I have the "back door lock" hack so that I don't have to deal with annoying updates that mess up my hacks.

Also, you say in another post that you don't use Calibre Kindle Collections? This particular thread is about using the Kindle Collections Plugin in Calibre. If you want info on using Collections Manager, go to the Kindle Developer's corner threads.

The slowness of using CM is due to the processor and eink functionality on the paperwhite, not to limitations of CM. Using Collection Manager with the Calibre Kindle Collections plugin has speeded everything up for me a LOT.

Yes to delete CM just remove the document. Your collections will still be there.
