Very nice.

Thanks for taking care of the duplicate books issue. The duplicate book message came up on my DX, I made my choice and the DX opened in KCM. I shudder when I think of how long it would have taken me to find 18 duplicate books (calibre thought only 4 duplicates existed) out of 2500+.

Some features for my KCM wish list:

-select more than one book at a time to copy into a collection. i.e. author XYZ has 3 series, each of which has at least 3 books. I currently copy author XYZ folder 4 times (series plus author), changing the name each time and eliminating the books not desired in that folder. unfortunately this doesn't work if I'm trying to add several books in one kindle folder to a pre-existing collection. then it's individual file drag & drop.

-duplication of a title multiple times in a collection folder. I don't know how to explain without a screen shot, but the name of the file that repeats really isn't that file for all the duplicate names.

-ability to sort the kindle file side. I can get a sorted kindle collection side by saving changes, closing the program and then re-opening the program.

But, even in the current beta stage, KCM takes kindle's collection feature and makes it usable. One of the few software components that Sony does correctly is their "tag" feature and KCM takes kindle a step closer to a "tag" system with each update.

Thanks.
