I just started a thread outlining one interaction I found between Calibre 0.7.1 and kindle 2.5.2

It appears that Amazon may be adding info to title metadata for collections management purposes. Going forward I would hope at a minimum on the Calibre side that it be able to keep track of collections membership when doing a Calibre add books. When sending to kindle, getting them into the proper collections may be problematical. I suspect that it is using the ASIN# added to the title to figure out what collections it belongs in when retrieving books from the Amazon archive. How non Amazon archive books and stuff coming from Calibre might be handled vis a vis collections membership, I haven't a clue.
