But now I find that after plugging my Reader in, it has deleted all my collection data. I added a few new books, unplugged it and the menu read 'no collections.' I'm not sure why, how to prevent it happening again or how to fix it.
My preferences in 'add/save' were set to 'Manual Management' which is why I do not understand how this happened.

Here we go again. Sigh...
I have no idea why all your collections were deleted. Even more, I have no idea why none were created when you sent the new books. I am not doubting that it happened.
[Edit: the above sounds like I am annoyed with Christina. I am not. However, I
am annoyed that she had the problem.]
First, lets determine where the problem was introduced. Did you plug in your reader while you using 0.7.8? If so, were the collections preserved? If so, that means that the problem is in 0.7.9, which I don't understand at all. If you hadn't plugged in your reader in 0.7.8, then the problem is in the upgrade from 0.6, and that I can understand.
Second, what are the settings in your device customization for collection building?
Third, what do you see in the device view? Are all the books marked as 'in library' that should be?
The best thing to do is to run calibre in debug mode and post the results. What OS are you using?
