I have downloaded KCM and I have some points to make...

First, there are a lot of repeat entries, but I guess it's already been identified as an issue.

Second, most of my books are DRM-free, as in unDRMed. Living in Brazil means I can do that legally, without DMCA fears. As so happens, the icons still say they are DRM protected, though Calibre (and the fact that I removed the DRM) says otherwise.

Also, having downloaded the books through K4PC means the filenames are the Amazon Serial Numbers they assign to each book. Now, some of them appear on KCM with proper names, others only show the filename, and I have checked the option that shows filenames on options.

As an idea, I think the icons should show (colors or something else) which of the books are already in one (or more) collections, and the ones that are not. I have only 550 books in my kindle, but I guess there's people with more.

The option to save a "collection organization" file just in case you want to experiment, and things go awry.

Those are the things I remember, I'll post other stuff as I come across.

All in all, great job!
